Murmure Chiwda

Blogging Marathon# 61: Week 4/ Day 1 Theme: Bookmarked Recipes from Fellow BM Bloggers Dish: Murmure Chiwda from Varada's Kitchen We are starting the final week of blogging marathon for this month today and my theme for the week is one of my favorite -- cooking from fellow blogging marathoners. As a group we are checking and commenting each others posts very frequently and I have a ton of recipes bookmarked from them.
I already have quite a few dishes made from the blogs, so this one's from my drafts. This Murmure chiwda is from Varada's Kitchen and I made it for Diwali (back in November). This is a easy, quick to make snack that can be whipped up in no time.
My husband loves these crispy and crunchy type of snacks and this was just a perfect recipe. With just a few ingredients and few minutes, you have a freshly made snack that is sure to please everyone.
