Puffed rice balls , sweet and crunchy are tasty snacks to binge on. Popular doing festive times as offerings to the lord, it hails from the state of Gujarat .
Puffed rice,also known as murmura, kurmura or churmura is always stacked in all households. These tasty balls are definitely a family pleaser, atleast I will be making them frequently now. They were loved by all at home.
Gujarati cuisine is tasty and has a wide range of dishes in it. They are mainly vegetarian and use various kind of spices. The food is a combination of sweet, spicy and tangy. A typical thali consists of dal or kadhi, roti , shaak or sabzi. Pulses as moong and horse gram are regularly used along with veggies. During festivals, they prepare a wide range of dishes. Farsan are snacks that are served with lunch or tea time. (Source :Wikipedia)
