The traditional murukku,  is a favorite snack not only for Indians but for people from all walks of life in this country. J. Ganesan, a 42-year-old muruku entrepreneur in Kampung Kacang Putih, Buntong, said the muruku produced by his family for the previous 3 generations has been in great demand for the past month.

According to him, his grandfather N. Ammamuthu founded the family business 60 years ago, which he inherited from his late father A. Jayabalan, who died in 2020. The muruku he sells is made from a recipe passed down from his grandfather to his late father, and he still uses the same ingredients.

He stated that no changes have been made in the past 60 years, and that the components utilized must adhere to the authorized measurements. The flour is combined by hand and cannot be blended in big quantities for fear of affecting the quality and taste of the muruku. The crunchiness and specific spices used to prepare the muruku with its crispy texture for eating at any moment distinguish Ganesan’s muruku.

That is why we focus on one product only and do not venture into other products or beans because we want to take care of the quality churned out. He also said that his munchy snack always gets bookings from distributors all over Perak including from outside the state from companies and individuals and year-round demand usually surges not only during the Deepavali festival but it is also muruku-mode for Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year.

He also stated that the moniker ‘Kampung Kacang Putih‘ in Buntong is already linked with the community in Malaysia, which supports the growth of his firm.

I still remember we followed my father doing small business at the night market, from house to house, under trees and sometimes even went to Batu Caves to do business but now not anymore, it’s ‘kacang putih’ legions who flock to Buntong.

Meanwhile, his wife T. Kavitha, 37, said she was thrilled to be a member of Buntong‘s famed murukku producers and businesses. Kavitha is also raising their 3 children to ensure that the heritage of a family affair is passed down from generation to generation.

She noted that thus far, their children have been introduced to how to combine the mixture and the process of producing the twisted shape of the muruku, including wrapping, while her husband would manage the cooking process himself. She also assured that it is true that her husband impresses on their children to learn every twist and turn to understand it well so that the legacy of this business will live on in the future.
