Mandakki churmuri | dry bhelpuri |
ಮಂಡಕ್ಕಿ ಚುರಮುರಿ/ಡ್ರೈ ಭೇಲ್ಪುರಿ – VIDEO
The very famous street food and a healthy snack from Karnataka, which can be easily made at home is mandakki churmuri/Puffed rice snack. Yes, here the Kannada word ‘mandakki’ translates to ‘Puffed rice’. The other name for it in Kannada is ‘Puri‘
I think almost all the households in Karnataka, across the state, makes this snack without fail in their own combinations of spices and veggies as per their taste and requirement.
This is my father’s, one of the most favourite snack. During my college days, almost every weekend my mom used to make this snack to serve along with evening tea/coffee. But there is a difference in how I make this snack compared to what mom used to make. Because Mom’s method was a authentic brahmin style where as mine is influenced by places, wherever I used to relish this snack.
Then after marriage, when we shifted to Manipal, we used to relish this snack in a place, near Temple street, Udupi whenever we visited the Shri Krishna temple.
