Puffed rice also known as Mumra/Murmure in North India and in Kannada we call it Kalle Puri or just Puri. Most commonly used for making Bhelpuri chat and spicy mumra/puri mix. Kalle puri upittu also known as upma is more popular in north Karnataka. I generally make it for my weekend breakfast its light and easy to make.
This dish was introduced to me by my hubby.
4-5 cups of puffed rice
1 large onion chopped into small pieces
4-5 green chilies cut into halves

Few curry leaves
Coriander leaves finely chopped
