Puffed
rice is made from rice, commonly used as a breakfast cereal or snack foods and
served as a popular street food in India in the form of Bhel puri. This recipe is
a twist to the puffed rice (murmura) with south Indian touch.
Puffed
rice upma is known with different names
according to regions in India. It is called as borugula upma/uggani in telugu,
mandakki oggarne in kannada, pori upma in tamil and murmura upma in hindi. It
is a south Indian breakfast, snack or brunch food.
This
is something different than our usual upma, pasta or burger; this is low
calorie dish. You can add veggies like peas, carrot and make it little filling
and nutritious. It is our family favorite, so I make it at least twice a month.
Step by step puffed
rice/murmura upma recipe:
- Rinse the puffed rice in a big pail or bowl with lot of water. Leave it in water for around 5 minutes. In this recipe I have used thick variety of murmura. (If you are using airy variety, just dunk them in water and squeeze up the water immediately else they turn mushy.)
- Squeeze away the water from the puffed rice with both your palms. After squeezing they should be just moist and no excess water. Keep it aside.
- Heat a pan with 2 tbsp. oil. Add ¼ tsp mustard, ¼ tsp. cumin, ½ tsp urad dal and 6-8 curry leaves.
- When they turn golden, add ½ cup finely chopped onion and fry until translucent.
- Then add in green chili paste and mix.
- Add in 1 cup chopped tomatoes and salt. Cook till the tomatoes turn mushy and then fry till the oil begins to leave the sides of the pan.
- Add ¼ tsp turmeric power and ¼ tsp red chili powder.
- Add the puffed rice and mix well. Cover the pan just for 2 minutes so that everything gets heated up.
- Add
coarsely ground dalia (roasted gram) and mix well.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
