Murmura Chivda

Vana mandalu oggarane, khara mandakki, mandakki chivda, spicy puffed rice, seasoned puffed rice, masala puffed rice, spicy kadlepuri or bellulli (garlic) mandakki is a popular teatime snack from North Karnataka. It is made in several variations across India and known as sukha bhel, bhadang, murmura chivda and many more names. It is the perfect guilt free snack to munch on any time of the day. Garlic adds a very interesting flavour to the mandakki. I often find myself hunting for them, so add garlic generously. My mom makes big batch of this delicious snack and store for upto 2 weeks. My hubby likes to munch on some snack irrespective of whatever time he returns from office. I usually make a big box full of avalakki chivda since my hubby loves avalakki in any form. For a change, I made mandalu oggarane today and he happily munched on it while I was still rolling jolada rottis for dinner..Sharing a simple & easy recipe for this yummy snack for you all to try..This is my contribution to the second phase of #itsprocessoverproduct.To see more of my work, follow onInstagram- @TheRedPlateChroniclesFacebook - TheRedPlateChroniclesWordpress -http://theredplatechronicles.home.blogLoveM❤️

I've made a very spicy and tasty chivda, which is also very nutritious.
