    3 cups Puffed rice

Notes

  • I bring fresh murmura or puffed rice when needed, and thus it always remains crispy. If it is not crisp, you can dry roast it on medium-low flame for 5 minutes until they turn crisp. 
  • Always use roasted peanuts. If you have a raw one, first roast it and then add it to the recipe. 
  • This is a very flexible recipe where all the ingredients can be adjusted to your taste. 
  • For additional kick, small green chili can be finely chopped and added. 
  • Grated carrots and beetroot can also be added to make it more colorful and tasty. 
  • You can prepare the masala ahead of time and simply toss it with puffed rice when ready to eat. 
  • Use coconut oil for an authentic taste.
