Borugula Pulihora (Pulusu Borugulu) ~ Puffed Rice with TamarindIngredients :Puffed Rice : 5 cups

Mustard Seeds : 1 tsp

Handful of Ground nuts

A pinch of Hing

Turmeric Powder : ¼ tsp
Oil : 2 tbsp

Method :
Soak the tamarind in water for 10 minutes, then squeeze the extract out of it and set aside. Soak the puffed rice in water for two minutes and drain it to remove all excess water and keep aside. Heat two table spoons of oil in a wide vessel. Add the mustard seeds,urad dal, chana dal and ground nuts and fry them. When they start to splutter add the cashews, curry leaves, hing, chopped green chillies and red chillies and fry for a few minutes. Now add the tamarind pulp, salt and turmeric powder. Fry the mixture till oil comes out. When the tamarind pulp becomes thick, add soaked puffed rice and mix well. Let it cook for 2 minutes on a medium flame and remove from the flame. Serve hot.

Good snack idea for kids.
yummy one 🙂
Never tried this way for puffed rice,it surely must be yummy…
never had puffed rice like this. looks perfectly tangy tongue tickling for the season. yum!
I love this snack type dish, we make it too, but a dry form where we dont add tamarind, just peanuts, green chilly and the tampering and puffed rice, kind of a mixture. I havent seen this type , first time 🙂
tamarind would definitely add a tangy twist to the murmura
Another new dish for me …i make a dry snack with similar flavors but this wet poha like dish is certainly worth trying…
