Murmura chivda | how to make murmura chivda | Gujarati mamara no chevdo

Murmura chivda is a quick and easy namkeen recipe where roasted murmura, deep-fried makai poha (cornflakes) and peanuts are tossed with a spice mixture. It tastes ‘chatpata’ with a balanced flavor of sweet and tangy. It has a very long shelf life and can be stored in an airtight container for months. It is extremely simple and can be prepared within minutes. So, do try it!

The key to making tasty murmura chivda at home are
  • Firstly, ensure to use crisp and fresh puffed rice for chivda. Dry roast or give some sunlight if puffed rice is slightly soft.
  • I made a special spice mix, which gives chatpata flavor to chivda. In spice mix, you may vary the number of spices according to your taste.
  • I add fried makai poha (cornflakes) and peanuts into chivda mixture. You may add roasted dry coconut and dry fruits to enhance the flavor.
  • Lastly, store the murmura chivda in an airtight container once cooled completely; else the moisture may turn the murmura soggy.
