"Tastes exactly like the murukku my paati used to make back home. The mixture is perfectly spiced and so fresh. This is the real deal nothing else in Toronto comes close."

Crafted with care
The way amma used to make it.
From the first pinch of asafoetida to the final twist of murukku — every batch is shaped, fried and packed by hand in our Scarborough kitchen.
Small-batch fried
Cooked in small lots so every piece stays crisp, fragrant and full of flavour.
Family recipes
Heirloom proportions passed down through three generations of Tamil cooks.
No preservatives
Just rice flour, lentils, ghee and spice. Nothing artificial — ever.

"I drive 45 minutes every other weekend just to stock up. The ribbon pakoda and thattai are unbelievably crisp. Family-run, warm service, and prices are fair."
