Description

Puffed rice is a popular snack in South India, commonly known as "pori" or "murmura". It is a light and crispy snack made from rice grains that are heated until they pop. Puffed rice is often used in various South Indian dishes, especially in chaat and bhel puri. In this recipe, we will show you how to make puffed rice at home from scratch.

Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

15 minutes

Ingredient

  • 1 cup of rice
  • Water (as needed)
  • Oil (for frying)
  • Salt (to taste)

Equipment

  • Deep frying pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Large bowl
  • Colander

Method

  1. Wash the rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 1 hour.
  2. Drain the water and spread the rice on a cloth or paper towel to dry for about 1 hour.
  3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Add a small amount of rice to the oil and fry until it pops and becomes puffed.
  5. Use a slotted spoon to remove the puffed rice from the pan and place it in a colander to drain excess oil.

  7. Once all the rice is puffed, sprinkle salt to taste and mix well in a large bowl.

Notes

It is important to dry the rice completely before frying it, as any moisture left in the rice can cause it to splatter and burn in the hot oil. You can also add other seasonings to the puffed rice, such as chili powder, cumin powder, or chaat masala, to enhance its flavor.
