bhadang recipe | spicy puffed rice chivda | Indian bhadang is a jar snack to be enjoyed any time of the day. Learn how to make spicy puffed rice chivda.
To make bhadang, heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the peanuts and sauté on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mustard seeds and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds. Add the garlic, green chillies, curry leaves and asafoetida and sauté on a medium flame for 3 minutes. Add the turmeric powder and salt, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds. Add the kurmura, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Cool completely and store in an air-tight container.
Scrumptious to the core, this flavourful snack is made of puffed rice perked up with green chillies and curry leaves as compared to Kolhapuri bhadang which makes use of chilli powder.

Tips for bhadang. 1. If you wish, you can use thinly sliced garlic. 2. Green chillies can be replaced with chilli powder. 3. Store in an air-tight container. It stays fresh for 10 days.
