Instructions
 

Preparing the Spice Mix

  • Combine puffed rice, crushed papad, roasted peanuts, flattened rice, red chili powder, chaat masala, black salt, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Tempering the Spices

  • Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add curry leaves and chopped green chilies. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.

Combining and Serving

  • Pour the hot tempering over the spice mix. Stir gently to combine everything. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 15 days.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Spicy Puffed Rice:

  • For a richer flavor, toast the peanuts and flattened rice lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the mix.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more as needed.
  • If you don't have chaat masala, you can substitute it with a mix of amchur powder (dried mango powder), cumin powder, and a pinch of asafoetida (hing).
  • For extra crunch, add some sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles) to the mix.
