Girmit
Ingredients
4 cups puffed rice/mandakki/churmuri/murmura
¼ cup oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
½ teaspoon jeera seeds(cumin)
2 sprig curry leaves
4 crushed garlic cloves
3 green chillies finely chopped
½ teaspoon turmeric(haldi)
a big pinch hing(asafoetida)
2 medium onions finely chopped
¼ cup tamarind pulp (1 lemon sized tamarind soaked in water)
½ teaspoon sugar (optional)
salt to taste
For Garnish:
2 tablespoon onion finely chopped
2 tablespoon tomato finely chopped
1 tablespoon coriander leaves
2 tablespoon fried gram powder/putani powder
¼ cup sev mixture
2 tablespoon fried peanuts
2-4 fried green chillies (Optional)
Tips
Mandakki puri or puffed rice should be fresh, it tastes better. If your puffed rice is not that crispy, you can crisp up the store bought puffed rice in a heavy bottom pan on a very low heat for about 5-10 minutes.
If you do not have putani powder (fried gram) at home, grind whole putani (roasted chana) into a fine powder. Adding the powder not only adds taste but also absorbs moisture preventing the dish from becoming soggy quickly.
Do not reduce the amount of oil and onion. More the better and tastier.
You can increase items mentioned in Garnish according to your preference
