MURMURA NAMKEEN / SNACK MADE WITH PUFFED RICE

This is a very simple and quick snack that can be made in just few minutes with the basic ingredients usually available in our kitchens. It really comes out so crunchy and tasty that it vanishes in no time. I just can't stop eating once I start. This is a best option for weight-watchers as it is very light and not deep-fried.

Ingredients:
Murmura .... 100 gms (about 5-6 cups)
Peanuts ....... 1/4 cup
Roasted chana dal ... 1/4 cup
Mustard seeds ... 1 tsp
Dry red chillies ... 2-3 (broken)
Curry leaves ...... 1 sprig
Asafoetida ........ 1 pinch
Turmeric powder ... 1/4 tsp
Salt ........................ to taste
Oil ........................ 2-3 tbsps

Method:

In a wok or kadai heat the oil. Fry the peanuts.

In the same oil add the mustard seeds.

When they crackle add the asafoetida.

Now add the dry red chillies and curry leaves.

Next add the roasted dal.

Stir-fry a little.

Add peanuts, salt and turmeric powder and mix.
