    Kara Pori is a quick 5 minutes evening snacks. Crispy puffed rice chivda is not only tasty, but also healthy after school snacks for kids.

    Kara Pori is a quick and  tasty Indian snack. Less oil, yet crunchy. During school days Amma always make it and keep it in a box. It is one of my favorite snacks growing up.

    Everytime I visit kitchen I will look for kara Pori dhabba and keep munching it.  Amma always use coconut oil to prepare it and it gives a nice tasty flavor.

    Kara Pori will stay fresh for 2-3 days but in our home it generally won’t last more than 2 days. 

    Aval mixture and roasted makhana are other tasty and healthy snacks

    Puffed Rice Mixture / Pori Mixture / Puffed Rice Chiwda

    Puffed Rice Mixture is a quick win - easy to make, yet tasty. Less oil, yet crunchy.

    Notes

    1.You can add chilli powder if you want pori to be spicy
    2.Can add peanuts and fried gram after tempering but I have a fear they might be overcooked!
