The year was 1981 about 40 years ago, Rajammal patti like every other grandmother made murukku for her kids at home. She made about 5 types of murukku for her family and friends from her own recipe. Later as the taste and quality was A1 she started to cater for functions like weddings, puberty functions and other festivities. For 18 long years they made their snacks at home but as fame rose the customers insisted they open up a shop for daily sales and so they did. KOVILPATTI MURUKKU KADAI started in 1999 with the help of Rajammal patti's son. As the name grew the number of items on the list grew too, from Murukku to Athirasam they increased their menu to about 12 items but they never stepped down from their quality and taste.

They started another branch in 2005 and the business was taken up by the brothers leading it to be a collaborative family business. The recipe created by Rajammal patti stuck to its tradition with no added preservatives and retained it's original taste. Both shops were a huge hit in Kovilpatti and still remain as pioneers in the sweet & snack business.
