PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Serve the muri mixture immediately after mixing. It will lose its crispness and become soggy if it sits for too long.
2
For an extra crunchy texture, you can lightly dry roast the puffed rice in a pan for 2-3 minutes before using.
3
The pungent flavor of raw mustard oil is the signature of this dish. Do not substitute it with any other oil for an authentic taste.
4
Feel free to add other ingredients like finely chopped cucumber, grated coconut, or sprouted moong dal for more texture and flavor.
