Kadle Puri
Kadle Puri is a savoury snack made with puffed rice, peanuts, fried gram and South Indian spice
Ingredients
- 200 g Puri | Puffed Rice murmura
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil (I prefer groundnut oil)
- 2 tsp Mustard Seeds
- ¼ cup Peanuts (raw)
- ¼ cup Bengal Fried Gram hurikadale, pottu kadalai
- 2 sprigs Curry Leaves
- 2-3 Dried Red Chillies
- 5-6 cloves Garlic with skin (optional ingredient)
- ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
- ¼-½ tsp Red Chilli Powder adjust according to taste
- ¼ tsp Asafoetida Powder
- 1 tsp Salt adjust according to taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and keep them ready.
- Place a large pan/ kadai on a low-medium flame. Once the kadai is warm, add 2 tbsp of oil to the pan.
- Add mustard seeds and allow it to sputter. Next, add the curry leaves and dried red chillies and allow them to crisp up.(If you are using garlic, add them now)
- Tip in the peanuts and huri kadle and roast them on a low flame until they are crisp.
- Now, add the spice powders - Turmeric powder, red chilli powder, asafoetida powder and salt. Give them all a good mix and roast them along with the peanuts and fried gram for a minute on a low flame (to ensure that the spice powders do no burn).
- Turn off the flame and now add the puri / murmura. Mix all the ingredients well and allow the spice powders to coat well. If you feel that the puri is still a little soft, you can turn on the flame and roast it on a low flame for a minute - this will help the puri crisp up.
- Transfer to an air-tight container and enjoy with chai or coffee in the evening.
