MASALA PORI/ MASALA PUFFED RICE

This is my husband's favorite snack.  I make this quiet often and store it in a air tight box. It is also a low calorie snack and good for health. Kids will like this snack as this is less spicy.

Ingredients

Pori/ puffed rice - 8 cups
Sesame oil - 2 - 3 tbs
Curry leaves - 1 sping
Garlic - 4  gloves
Ground nut - 1 1/2 tbs
Dahlia/ Pottukadalai - 2 tbs
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Hing powder - 1/4 tsp

Salt - as required

Method

1. Heat oil in a large pan, add ground nut, curry leaves and garlic. 
2. Once the raw smell goes from garlic, add dahlia, hing powder, salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder.
3. Fry all those for 2 to 4 seconds and add puffed rice. Then mix it well.
4. Masala pori is ready now. Serve it with chopped red onions or garnish it with green sweet & sour chutney.
