Spicy Puffed Rice / Masala Murmura

Spicy puffed rice is a simple and spicy snack that is made by frying puffed rice along with some spices. Additionally you can also add peanuts, almonds, roasted chana dal or dried coconut pieces for extra crunch. But today I will keep this dish simple with just peanuts and curry leaves. Perfect snack to go with tea or coffee or a healthy snack for your kids lunch boxes.
