Seepu Seedai or Surulu Murukku is a delightful specialty from Chettinad. Traditionally, it involves a distinct wooden flat board with etched horizontal lines, resembling a comb, on which the dough is flattened and curled to achieve its unique shape. The term "Seepu" translates to a comb in Tamil.

For those without access to this distinctive snack maker, a fork can be used as an alternative. Moreover, modern murukku presses come with various templates, allowing you to prepare a variety of shapes. In this recipe, I have utilized one such plate to create this flavorful and crunchy snack infused with the goodness of coconut milk.
