Sakkiram Podichinti / Powdered Murukku with Sugar and Coconut

December 1, 2015 31 Comments

I am fooling you guys on a Monday. This is not a recipe. This is not even normal, I think.

Flashback: my brother does weird things with his evening snacks. When the rest of dunk biscuits in tea, he would put two spoons of peanuts mixture in his tea (that’s right, inside his tea) and then drink it up, finally using a spoon to scoop out the sodden mixture bits. As grossed out as I used to be with that, sakkiram podichinti is a brilliant concoction of his.

These are usually round when whole but a lot of them break during transit

Sakkiram is reddiar murukku. Its made primarily with rice flour and is hand-made through and through. The spiralling design is done by hand and no mould or press can give you that shape. I will post the recipe and how its made soon, but today, here’s my brother’s whacky snack idea.

IMG_3850

Throw 4 murukku broken into pieces, 1 tbsp grated coconut and 2-3tsp sugar in a mixer bowl.

Powder it until you get a mixture like so.

Scrape out the sides – the stuff sticking to the side is the best – and transfer to a bowl.

Powdered Murukku Snack and Hot Coffee

Eat with hot tea or coffee as a snack. If you add more coconut, you can probably make these into balls. We have never bothered!

Update: I called up the brother now to ask how he came up with this idea and he says, our great grandmother used to make this for our grandfather (her son in law, btw) since he lost all his teeth at a pretty young age and never got false teeth. Of course, she never used a Sumeet mixie for it but relied on a pestle and mortar to coarsely grind the murukku as an evening snack for her son in law, but that’s where the idea originated from!

    Believe it or not, I used to do this with chakkidam (your sakkiram in our Telugu 🙂 ) and milk pedas – tastes great.

    That's a neat idea 🙂 With some coconut and sugar it should taste like avalosu podi, right?

    Sharmilee, the table runner is from Ikea. I liked it as soon as I lay my eyes on it. Came home, checked the tag and realised its made in India. Ah well 😀

    Sig, this tastes a bit different from avalos podi but yeah, comparable 🙂

    We used to do something similar–instead of sugar, mix the crushed murukku with "moru" (buttermilk) salt and, if you prefer, chili flakes … awesome it is 🙂

    Nags, Herez something that my aunt does… grind left-over cakes, mixtures, murukku,biscuits, etc, together.. add coconut.. make them into small balls, like our ariyunda..(no need to add sugar or salt as per my taste). I have added coarsely ground peanuts too for the crunch 🙂
