Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g Murmura puffed rice, dry roasted
  • ½ cup Mint leaves washed, fully dried
  • ½ cup Coriander leaves washed, fully dried
  • 10-15 Curry leaves
  • 3-4 Green chillies chopped
  • ¼ cup Peanuts
  • ½ cup Sev
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil plus extra for deep frying
Spices:
  • ½ tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Chaat masala
  • 1 tsp Amchur
  • ½ tsp Black salt
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Deep-fry mint, coriander, curry leaves, and chillies separately on medium-low heat until completely crisp. Cool thoroughly, then grind into a fine mixture.
  2. Deep-fry peanuts until golden brown. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over low heat. Stir in turmeric for 5 seconds. Turn off the heat and mix in the remaining spices (chaat masala, amchur, black salt, and regular salt).
  4. Stir the green herb mixture into the warm spice oil. Add the roasted murmura and toss until evenly coated. Fold in the fried peanuts and sev.

Notes

Make sure the herbs are completely dry before frying, and let the mixture cool fully before storing in an airtight container to prevent sogginess.
