Kurkure (Nic Nac) plant

Kurkure are extruded snacks, very crunchy and great in taste. Kurkure are made by extrusion process. The Kurkure corn meal is moisturized in the flour mixer with water and fed to the Rotary die Extruder. In the extruder, due to excess heat and pressure from the screws, the meal gets heated and the moisture content gets reduced. The meal passes through the die and gets cut by the cutting knifes into required lengths. The Kurkure are fried in cooking oil and then cooled before flavoring. Seasoning is sprayed on the Kurkure to get variety of taste and flavour. Then packing is done with suitable packing machine.
