Puffed Rice Mixture | Masala Murmura Recipe

Everyone loves street food with some spice, little crunchiness, sweet and tangy stuff. But that’s not healthy at all and still we love it. Some of us can’t stop thinking about some chaat or bhel puri while dieting, don’t we? Well, how about I tell you that you can have them all while dieting. Yes, you read that right.

There’s always one ingredient common in almost all kinds of chaat’s and that is Murmura. Murmura or Puffed Rice is easily available in the market. It’s basically made from rice kernels that are heated at high pressure in the presence of steam. That’s how they are so soft and crunchy at the same time.

It’s my favourite recipe and I always have a jar full of Puffed Rice Mixture at my home. It’s easy to make and tastes much better than the packet mixture you get in the stores. Now, I’m going to share Masala Murmura Recipe which is a Quick Healthy Snack.
