Today I am sharing with you a simple snack recipe from my childhood. My mom used to make it almost every other weekend and we just love it. Now I make it once in a while and both Hubby and Thaara enjoys this. It is a simple snack that can be made in a jiffy.
What are the ingredients needed?
Puffed rice, 2 cups
Oil, 1 tablespoon
Mustard seeds,1/2 teaspoon
Garlic, 3-4 cloves(crushed)
Red chillies,1- 2 nos.
Curry leaves, a sprig
Pottukadalai/ Roasted gram, 1/4 cup
Peanuts, 1/4 cup
Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon
Notes

Red chillies,1- 2 nos.

Pottukadalai/ Roasted gram, 1/4 cup
Peanuts, 1/4 cup
Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon
How it is made?
- Heat the oil, add mustard seeds and when they crack, add the crushed garlic, red chillies, curry leaves and fry for a minute or two.
- Then add pottukadalai (roasted gram) and peanuts and fry till they change color and are fried.
- Then add the turmeric powder, mix well.
- Finally add Pori(puffed rice) , mix well such that it is well coated with turmeric powder and turn off the heat.
- Let it cool down and then enjoy this snack.
- Store it in an airtight container.
Notes
- I remember my mom using coconut oil instead of the normal oil for frying. I love that flavor, but I didn't have it here so used canola oil here.
- In addition to red chillies, if you prefer more heat, you can add chilli powder.
- If you don't prefer red chillies, instead of them, you can add 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder, depending on the level of spice you need.
