Puffed rice is nothing but kadle puri, mandakki or murmura. We enjoy any snack associated with this i.e churmuri, bhel puri, khara hacchida puri or even puri unde i.e puffed rice balls. It’s light and not to worry much about the fatty stuff.
It’s something different than our usual stuff of upma, pasta, burgers etc. This is a combination of sweet and spicy flavours enhanced with zesty lemon.
Am sure by now, regular visitors to my kitchen can depict our dinner style– 1 item that is light, tasty and convenient. Mandakki oggaraNe is a readily suitable item in our family on any days of the weekJ. Here’s a wonderful method that I have adopted from my MILJ!!!
