Spicy Puffed Rice Snack

This easily assembled snack food has only one problem: it’s so delicious that you and your guests will go through piles of it. It is traditional in Bengal, eaten in handfuls from a large bowl. It has complex flavor as well as fresh crunch from the combination of spicing and finely chopped tomato and cucumber. The puffed rice—available at South Asian grocery stores, sold in large cellophane bags—helps all the flavors blend.

Murree is traditionally flavored with jannachur
