Healthy snacking II - Masala Muri or jhaalmuri

Here is the 2nd option in our healthy snacking series.

Healthy snacking is one thing we all look out for in between meals be it at home or at office. As advised by doctors, it is healthier to eat smaller portions of food in regular intervals. However, many a times at office or on the go, we often settle in for unhealthier options as they are more easily available.

A little creative thinking can help us eat healthy while also satisfying out hungrr pangs. The best part is you dont really have to compromise on taste.

So, we bring to you the recipe od masala muri or jhalmuri as it is popularly called in the East.

You just have to put all the ingredients together and add a dash of lemon. Your tasty snack is ready.

2 cups puffed rice or murmura
1 medium onion
1 cucumber
1 tomato
1 cup of mixed sprouts
2 tsp of lime juice
2 tsp chaat masala

Put all the ingredients together and mix well.

While the street side vendor puts in a lot of oil and fried stuff ( like bhujia or chanachur), we have added a healthy yet easy twist by adding sprouts and bringing in spice by adding lime juice.
