Chettinad Manakolam
₹120.00
A Legacy of Flavor: Manakolam is a celebrated classic from the grand kitchens of Chettinad. Often prepared for weddings and the most auspicious festivals, this snack is a symbol of hospitality. It is famous for its intricate "thorny" texture and its surprisingly delicate bite.
The Golden Blend: We use a signature dough of fine rice flour and roasted moong dal (pasi paruppu), kneaded exclusively with thick, fresh-pressed coconut milk. This gives the Manakolam its characteristic ivory-gold color and a rich, creamy depth that regular snacks can’t match.
Taste Profile: Buttery and mild, with the tropical sweetness of coconut milk and the nuttiness of roasted lentils.
Texture: Crisp on the outside, but dissolves effortlessly on the tongue.
The Craft: Pressed through traditional brass molds to create the iconic "Mullu" (thorn) shape.
