Masala maramaralu || karam borugulu || spicy puffed rice is very popular snack in Andhra and in many places of India and called with different names like masala murmura in Hindi, masala mandakki in Kannada and masala pori in Tamil. It is very easy to prepare with easily available ingredients. It is perfect tea time snack and popular snack for journey's and picnics. We can also add some onions, grated carrot, cucumber and lemon in masala puffed rice while serving, which is also called churumuri in Kannada, Jhal muri in Hindi. I am big fan of Jhal muri which we get in trains mainly while travelling North side. As they use mustard oil in it, that flavors makes you feel hungry while travelling, will share that recipe soon 😊. I loved my friend Kalyani's microwaved masala peanuts which is also perfect snack for journey's and picnics.
