CHEKKILALU

Chekkilalu (also known as Murukku in some regions) is a traditional, crunchy, and savory snack popular in South India, especially in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. It is made from rice flour and urad dal (black gram) flour, seasoned with spices, and deep-fried to create a crispy texture. Chekkilalu is typically enjoyed during festivals like Diwali, Ugadi, and Makar Sankranti, and is often served with tea or as a snack during festive gatherings.
