Masala Pori Recipe | Spicy Puffed Rice

by Jiya Jesh · Updated on July 15, 2022 Kids Recipes| Snacks| South Indian Recipes

Masala pori / spicy puffed rice recipe – a quick and easy South Indian snack using puffed rice. This masala pori has crispy puffed rice flavored with spices. Peanuts added to it give a nice crunch while garlic gives a nice flavor to the pori. It is one of those quick snacks that you can prepare that is healthy too.

I love to munch on plain puffed rice and find it so addictive and sometimes end up making pori upma for a quick tiffin. This masala pori is equally addictive and is a breeze to make.

It is a nice snack to have with a hot cup of tea in the evening occasionally or just as a snack to munch on when you are feeling hungry.
