Mom's Recipies

In andhra we call this snack as borugulu mixture or maramaralu masala  . This snack needs no introduction to any andhrite and can be found in pretty much every corner of the street in andhra.It tastes heavenly and very comfort food . I miss all the chaats, masalas, bajjis...list goes on.This being my and my hubby's favorite snack, i make this most often  on weekends.

Ingredients:

    * 4 cups puffed rice / murmur ( borugulu or maramaralu)
    * 1/2 cup onion chopped finely
    * 1 tomato chopped finely
    * 1/4 cup Mango chopped
    * 1 lemon juice
    * 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
    *  3-4 tsp oil
    * salt to taste
    * 1/4 cup Roasted peanuts
    * 1/4cup, putnalu/roasted gram dal
    *  chopped cilantro to garnish

Method:

I am not giving the exact measurements because, you can add them according to your taste.                 

    * First lightly toast the puffed rice for a minutes to make it crisp.
    *  Then take a big bowl, add the puffed rice, few teaspoons of oil and mix well.
    * Now add salt and the chilli powder. The oil makes the salt and the chilli powder stick to it.
    * Add finely chopped onion , tomato, mango , cilantro and freshly squeezed lemon juice.Mix well.
    * Taste and adjust the seasoning . Serve it,with topped roasted peanuts and roasted gram dal.
