#streetfoodofindia - Murmura Recipes. Murmura chikki is simply 'puffed rice brittle'. It is a kind of bar prepared mainly using puffed rice and jaggery during the Makar Sankranti festival season in India. To give an extra crunchy twist in the taste I added til [ sesame seeds] in this recipe. #sweettooth #oilfree
