Recipe for spicy garlic kara pori made with green chillies, garlic, peanuts and spices. A perfect and healthy tea time snack. With step by step pictures.
Pori / Murmura is a staple snack in most of the south indian homes. This garlic pori is spicy and made with green chillies. The fried green chillies and garlic give a nice aroma and flavor to the pori. Do try at home. It will be an instant hit! Here is how to do it.
Prep
Finely chop the garlic and green chillies. No need to peel the garlic. Let the skin be intact. The flavor of the roasted peels is very much desirable in pori.
Tempering
Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a pan on low flame. Add in the fried gram (pottu kadalai), peanuts and curry leaves. Saute on low flame for a minute. Add in the chopped green chillies and garlic. Fry for a minute more. Ghee sauteed garlic aroma will take over the kitchen in no time.
Add in the turmeric powder and salt. Saute for 10 seconds.
Add in the pori / puffed rice. Mix everything well to combine and saute for a minute to crisp up the pori / puffed rice.
Serve with masala tea or coffee.
