Masala pori

Ingredients
Puffed rice - 2 cups
Oil - 2 tblsp
Peanuts - fist full
Pottukadalai - fist full
Curry leaves - 1 spring
Garlic - 2 or 3 pods (crushed with skin)
Red chilly - 1
Home made chilly powder - 1/3 tsp
Salt - small pinch

Preparation
1. Heat oil in pan and fry garlic until golden brown in color and crunchy.
2. Fry peanuts and pottukadalai. Finally add curry leaves and red chilly. Switch off stove. Then add chilly powder and salt. Mix together with puffed rice.
3. Serve as tea time snack or munch while watching TV/movie

Note
1. You can skip chilly powder and add one more dry chilly. Remove chilly after mixing as this snacks is mainly for kids!
2. You can also add generous pinch of turmeric powder to get nice color and flavour.
3. I prefer any snack based on puffed rice more than potato chips or cheese balls. Good for kids, both taste wise and health wise!
