Crisp, buttery, and delicately nutty — this Mundhiri Murukku (Cashew Murukku) is a simple yet festive South Indian snack perfect for Diwali. Made with freshly prepared fresh cashew paste, rice flour, and butter, it turns out light, golden, and irresistibly crunchy with every bite.
Hello and welcome. I’m Sandhya—the hands, heart, and stories behind Sandyathome This blog was never planned. It began quietly—just like the way my mother and grandmother used to cook. No measurements. No books. Just feeling. Growing up, I didn’t realize I was being shaped by their everyday magic. The gentle clinking of ladles, the warm smell of curry leaves crackling in oil, the quiet hum of love in every dish—they stayed with me. I didn’t inherit written recipes. But I inherited something far deeper—the emotion of cooking, the way food could heal, gather, and speak when words fall short.
