Muruku (Dhoddu)

Murukula Boddu (also known as Murukula Mudda or Pindi Boddu) is a specialized, thick-set version of the traditional Murukku. Unlike the thin, spiraled Jantikalu, Boddu refers to a "knotted" or "bud-like" shape that is denser, crunchier, and often has a richer, buttery core. It is a rustic favorite in Telangana and Andhra households.
