About Murmura Laddu

Murmura laddu is also known by Pori Urandai in Tamil Nadu. It basically a traditional sweet dish of there. But it is also prepared across most of the states of India. Everyone enjoys it occasionally, or on normal days also.

Murmura, or in English, we say puffed rice. This puffed rice ladoo is very easy to prepare with only two basic ingredients: puffed rice and jaggery syrup. This laddo is very light to eat in comparison to other laddos.

In my childhood, we often ate these murmura laddu. In my village, there was a shop where my friends and I went to shop and eat this laddu daily, which cost only 1 Rs at that time. There was a fun to eating this amazing sweet dish. Its crunchy taste gives more satisfaction than other laddos. We were enjoying this sweet dish very much till now.

This puffed rice laddo serves as an occasional treat, like Diwali, Holi, birthdays, picnics, or you can eat it as an evening snack. It is a very light, crisp, and delicious ladoo to make at home that needs only a few minutes. Me and my baby brother likes it so much.

I use puffed rice here; flattened rice can also be used for this recipe. But the quantity of jaggery reduces when we make it with flattened rice. Jaggery is the best option to make a perfect ladoo. Most people use regular sugar. But I prefer jaggery as a healthier option to make this murmura laddu.
