Recipe


Puffed rice is made by heating rice kernels under high pressure in a sand filled oven. This is later on sieved to separate the sand from the puffed rice. Puffed rice is well known as 'Murmura / Mumra / Mamra' in India. This is used as a main ingredient to make many Indian snack items like Bhel Puri, Murmura Ladoo, Chikkis, Spicy Puffed Rice etc. Spicy Puffed Rice is the easiest among the lot and comes in handy during those wet winter evenings. We have this on our guilt free list as its quite light and affordable item. The taste of this flavoured Murmura is matchless when had with a hot cuppa Chai.
