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.

Story of "The Red Plate Chronicles"❤️I'm Meena - an architect by education, a home-cook with 17+years of cooking experience, an amateur marathoner, mom to a teenager, wife to a great husband. They are the center of my universe!💜It is the journey of my kitchen adventures. I'll be sharing recipes of dishes I enjoyed making and that are for everyday cooking as well as party favourites.💙What to expect in my recipes?Lacto-Ova Vegetarian RecipesNo WheatNo PeanutsNo SoyEggs OcassionallyCoconut Rarely💚Born & brought up in 4 states of India & then marrying A & shifting continents, I adapted to varied cuisines & they have become such an integral part of us that it becomes difficult to distinguish them apart. Currently, Bangalore is the place we call "home".💛Are you haunted by the question, "What's cooking?". If yes, then you can relate to me. There are days I don't get off my bed in the morning until I know what I'm cooking for breakfast and lunch that day. During the time my son was appearing for board exams and I was keeping him away from eating outside; I took up the challenge of learning one new recipe & not repeating any dish for 30 days straight! That meant coming up with 90 different dishes including variations in recipes.😅 Soon, it became difficult to keep track of what I had cooked so far. Thus began this documentation.🧡While I continue with my adventure, I'm glad you all joined along, appreciated and enjoyed my work. Here's to a long journey ahead!🥂LoveM❤️
