- 2 cups puffed rice (murmura)
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup boiled green peas (cooled)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small tomato, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 small potato, boiled, peeled, and cubed
- 2 tbsp green chutney (mint-coriander)
- 2 tbsp tamarind chutney
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp chaat masala
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp sev (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Prep Base Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, add puffed rice, roasted peanuts, and boiled green peas.
Add Vegetables:
Mix in chopped onion, tomato, and potato.
Mix Chutneys & Spices:
Add green chutney, tamarind chutney, red chili powder, chaat masala, salt, and lemon juice. Toss everything well until evenly coated.
Serve Immediately:
Top with sev and chopped coriander. Serve right away to keep it crisp.
Recipe Notes :
Crunch Retention: Assemble and toss just before serving to keep the puffed rice crisp—mixing too early will make it soggy.
Custom Heat Level: Adjust red chili powder and amount of green chutney to suit mild or spicy preference.
Add-ins Ideas: Try adding diced raw mango, pomegranate seeds, or chopped cucumber to bring freshness and extra zing.
Serve Immediately: Serve in bowls or paper cones right away for best texture and taste; the longer it sits, the softer the puffed rice gets.
