Points to note
- I am giving you the ingredients list without the quantity. You can use according to your preference.
- There is no hard rule for the measurements in this recipe. If you like peanuts more then add it more .Feel free to plus or minus the ingredients of your choice.
- Puffed rice must be fresh and crisp for this. Incase it has turned a bit soggy, keep it in microwave and heat for 1 min. Or keep in Sun . It wil get crisp. Alternatively you can dry roast them in a wide kadai too.
- If you dont like garlic , add hing / more of curry leaves and crush it later / menthe hittu powder towards the end
- Add turmeric little more than you normally use. That will give nice color. Else the chiwda will look pale.
