Murmura Recipe | Spicy Puffed Rice | Spicy Murmura Chivda with step-by-step photo and video recipe.ย Puffed rice is generally a side ingredient in many Indian recipes, such asย dosa batter,ย idli batter,ย and other South Indian breakfast recipes.ย However, Murmura can be used for snack recipes and healthy and tasty evening snacks enjoyed with masala tea.
My previous post on puffed rice was about Churumuri, a spicy lip-smacking street food from South Canada. I guess it was 2 years back, and since then, I have not posted any puffed rice recipes, and I was getting several requests for puffed rice recipes.ย Even though I haveย recently shared theย spicy mixture recipe, I have used murmur as one of its key ingredients.ย But it wasnโt the main ingredient again; it was one of the key ingredients. Hence, I thought of sharing this Spicy Murmura Chivda recipe. I got this idea from the Diet Bhel snack offered by Haldirams. I have tried to make it very similar, but it is less fancy and spicy than the Haldiram one.
While theย Murmura recipe, or spicy puffed rice, is straightforward and can be prepared within minutes. Here are some tips, recommendations, and serving ideas forย spicy Murmura Chivda. Firstly, ensure to use crisp and fresh puffed rice for this recipe. Stale or soft puffed rice would not have the same result and may have an unpleasant odour. Secondly, I topped the spicy puffed rice with fine sev.ย But it can be easily extended by adding a spicy mixture or any other child or nankeen. Lastly, you can serve this by adding finely chopped tomatoes and onions with a few drops of lemon juice. Add these moist vegetables just before serving, or they may turn soggy.
Finally, I request you to check my other Snack recipe collectionย with this post ofย the murmur recipe.ย It includes recipes like paneer pakora, aloo pakora, bread pakora, Namak pare, veg gold coin, Veg bonda, potato nuggets, Corn flakes Chivda and Aloo Bhujia recipe.
