Heat the oil in your cooking pot, over medium heat and fry the peanuts for a couple minutes. Next add the chilis and curry leaves and fry until they are crisp
Lower the heat and add the hing, turmeric powder, chili powder and salt, mix well and cook for a minute. Add in the murmura (puffed rice), mix well with the spices and cook until they crisp up
To test, pick one murmura up and crush it between your fingers, if it snaps easily then they are perfectly done - remove in a bowl. If not cook until they become crisp
To the warm and spiced murmura, add the boondis, cashews, mint powder, chaat masala and kala namak. Mix throughly and when it comes to room temperature, store in air tight jars
Serve the yummy chatpata murmura chivda with chai and share it with family and friends this festive season. Enjoy!
