Kara Pori that’s also known as Masala kaara pori makes a fantastic guilt free snack whenever you begin to crave for something to munch on. It is also one of the easiest pori recipes that you can make to finish off the pori that gets left over after pooja.

A cup of this spicy puffed rice along with a cup of steaming coffee or tea during the evenings is a wonderful treat especially during this cold season.

Mostly I make this snack when I have lots of pori after the Ayudha Pooja as we get lots of pori from the office poojas and from home.

This Kara pori makes an interesting snack to make with the left over pori instead of just eating it plain.

I had some left over pori (Murmura) after making pori urundai for Karthigai Deepam and every year the left over always gets converted to kara pori.

My kids love this so much and their favorite to munch when they are reading books is this spicy murmura. As it’s a healthy snack, I never mind even if they binge on it.

We love garlic, so I always spice up the pori with garlic and it gives such a nice flavor to our all time favorite snack. But you can leave out the garlic if you do not like it.

You can also add cashew nuts and sliced almonds while roasting the peanuts.

    Thank you Radhika, never really thought I would find a recipe for something as simple as this. Kara Pori brings back a lot of childhood memories to me. It was a weekend ritual for our family to visit Vidhana Soudha, Bangalore on Sunday evenings, and munch on Kara Pori while watching the crowd. 🙂 On that note, happy holidays and a great new year to you and your dear ones.
