Murmura Chivda Recipe / How to make Murmura Chivda Recipe

Masala muri chivda is one of my most favorite evening time snacks. It can be eaten any time, but I prefer it with a hot cup of tea. It takes very less oil. It tastes mildly as well as spicy also.It can be stored for two to three weeks.  Kids also like it very much.
Weekend coming means I need to prepare something like this and store it in a container. I have learned it from my childhood friend before marriage only. After marriage, first time when I made it my MIL also liked it very much though she doesn't like garlic.
In the process of learning new varieties, I stopped making this frequently. As I started recollecting my old memories and compiling them in this blog, it also came up.
The masalas mixed in this it gives a new kind of flavor. I don't say a very simple because it is not. We need to roast them separately and make powder of them.
We get two varieties of puffed rice. One is machine made and the other one is made in very hot sand. I prefer machine made only for several reasons. So, today I am going to give you the recipe of it.
