Grand Sweets Mullu Thenkuzhal, 170 Grams — Crunchy South Indian Spiral Snack
Product Features
Thenkuzhal, a crunchy, spiral-shaped snack made from rice flour and urad dal, is a beloved Tamil Nadu specialty, and this mullu, or thorny, variation from Grand Sweets offers a slightly more textured version of this classic snack. Packaged at 170 Grams, it is ready to eat straight from the pack. SubziCart.com stocks this specialty snack for South Asian households in the USA who want an authentic taste of Tamil Nadu's savory snacking traditions, particularly around festival seasons like Diwali.
Nutritional Information
As a fried snack made primarily from rice and lentil flours, thenkuzhal offers carbohydrates and a small amount of plant-based protein per serving, along with fat content resulting from the frying process. It shares a similar nutritional profile to other traditional South Indian fried snacks like murukku. As with most fried snacks, it is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a varied diet.
Serving Ideas
Enjoy this thenkuzhal straight from the pack as a crunchy accompaniment to a cup of chai or filter coffee, or serve it alongside other savory snacks during festive gatherings. Its sturdy, crisp texture also makes it a popular choice for packing into lunch boxes or travel bags without breaking easily. Because it is closely associated with Tamil festive traditions, many households specifically prepare or purchase it ahead of Diwali.
Good to Know
Because this snack is closely associated with festive occasions in Tamil households, keeping a pack on hand ahead of major festivals can help ensure a familiar taste is part of the celebration. Storing it in an airtight container at room temperature helps maintain its signature crunch over time. Because Grand Sweets is a well-regarded name specifically within Tamil sweets and snacks, many households seek out this brand in particular when looking for an authentic, trusted version of this regional classic. A tightly sealed container also helps this snack travel well when shipped to family living farther from a well-stocked South Asian grocery store. A resealable clip keeps every handful as fresh as the first. Its bold flavor makes it a memorable addition to any snack spread.
