Ingredients

Preparation

• Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan or a kadai. I usually used a non-stick pan for it.

• Add peanuts into it. Fry peanuts on a low flame until they are roasted nicely but not burnt. Stir in between.

• Now add finely chopped green chillies, curry leaves and garlic. Stir occasionally and cook till garlic turns golden brown. You may use either fresh or dry curry leaves, whichever available.

• Then add finely sliced onions and mix well. Cook till they get golden brown. There should not be any moisture left behind in the onions.

• Then add turmeric powder and salt to taste and mix well.

• Add puffed rice and mix well again. Turn the flame to low.

• Keep on stirring for every 1 minute until everything roasted well and puffed rice gets crisp and crunchy.

• Switch off the flame and let it cool completely. Keep in mind not to cover the container with lid otherwise they will lost their crunchiness.

• Once it completely gets cool, serve it with tea and enjoy as and when craved for.

• You may store it in a clean air tight container for up to 1 week.
