Authentic Homemade South Indian Snacks
These are the recipes I grew up with, handcrafted in my kitchen just the way my mother and grandmother taught me. From the crunch of a Ribbon Murukku to the spice of our special mixtures, every bite is a little piece of my home to yours.

About Our Signature South Indian Snacks
I don't use commercial machinery to mass-produce these; I roll, twist, and fry every batch of Murukku myself to ensure that perfect, airy crunch you simply cannot find in store-bought packets. Because I make everything fresh without preservatives, I recommend ordering a few days in advance for larger events or bulk gifting needs.
From My Kitchen to Yours
When I say these snacks are homemade, I mean it. I started Shanti's Kitchen because I wanted to share the flavours of my childhood—those evenings filled with the scent of frying spices and the sound of my mother's laughter in the kitchen. Every ingredient is chosen for purity, and I never use artificial colours, chemicals, or preservatives.
What Defines My Snacks
- Authentic Techniques: Whether it is the intricate, hand-twisted shapes of the Garlic Murukku or the precise consistency of my Rice Thattai (Chekkalu), these methods have been passed down through generations.
- Small Batches: I make everything in small, manageable batches. This is the only way to ensure the quality remains high and the taste stays consistent. It is a slow process, but it is the right way to cook.
- Freshness First: Since these are preservative-free, they are at their best when eaten fresh. I pack them in resealable pouches to lock in that crispiness so they reach you in the same condition as when they left my kadhai (wok).
Serving Suggestions
My snacks are designed for life's simple, happy moments.
- Chai Time: A plate of warm Ribbon Murukku or Kodbale pairs perfectly with a strong cup of filter coffee or masala chai.
- Small Hunger: Keep a pouch of Hing Jeera Peanuts at your desk for those 'choti-si-bhookh' moments when you need something savoury and satisfying.
- Sharing: If you are having friends over for drinks or a movie night, the Corn Mixture and spicy peanuts always steal the show.
I ship nationwide from Bengaluru, so whether you are local or across the country, I can get a taste of home to your doorstep.
