Recipe for Puffed Rice
Ingredients
- 2 cups murmura (puffed rice/ moori/ mamra/ pori)
- 1 onion- chopped
- 2 green chillies- chopped
- 1 tomato- chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1 potato- peeled and finely cubed
- 1 tbsp peanuts- roasted
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 5-7 curry leaves
Cooking Directions
Wash murmura in a strainer (chalni) under running water and set aside so that all water drains out.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. When they pop, add curry leaves. After few seconds, add onion and green chillies. Fry onion till it becomes pink.
Add potato, salt and turmeric powder. Cook covered till potato becomes tender.
Uncover and add tomato. Stir fry for 1 minute.
Add murmura and mix well. Let it cook covered on a low heat for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add roasted peanuts and lemon juice and mix. Serve and eat immediately. Keeping it for some time after making will make the murmura soggy.
