If you are looking for a spicy, crunchy, tasty and healthy snack then this Spiced Wheat Puffs is the right choice. Perfect for evening snacks along with some hot tea or coffee. V's favorite snack next to Sundals. So I often make this khara Pori but never get a chance to click but this time made specially to post here.
Except me everyone likes this snack at home, my fav is Masala Pori. So refreshing n yummy snack with freshly grated veggies n spices, perfect for this weather. Have tried Masala Pori with wheat puffs but it doesn't tasted good, roasting only makes it more tasty n crunchy. My kids too love this khara pori. You too try this for your kids' snack. I have used wheat puffs but you can make it with rice puffs too.
