Girmitt (Puffed rice with onion masala)

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

One of regular food in North Karnataka. It is a street food available at any time in small tea stalls. (another taste of Girmitt.)

Easy to make and it does not need any cooking. Great filler if you are very hungry and no patience to cook. Only to take care is do not drink water immediately after you eat it.(thats what our granny's tell, do not know the proper reason!! but they say if you drink water you will have upset stomach. 

I have posted the recipe with cooking in my previous entries. Lets try this one without cooking.

All you need is,

Puffed rice - 1big bowl 

for masala 

Onion - 1 big,  chopped into small cubes

Red Chilly powder - 1 tbsp

Fresh coriander - handful, cleaned and chopped

Lime juice - 1 tbsp

Curry leaves - 6 to 8, cleaned and chopped

Salt to taste

Oil - 1 tsp 

Dalia powder - 1 tbsp(optional)

Sugar - 1 tsp

Mix all the ingredients in a big bowl. Then add the puffed rice and mix well just before you eat otherwise it will become soft and you will not enjoy the taste.
