These ingredients are mixed together with green chili, red chili powder, salt, and a dash of lemon juice or tamarind juice. Some variations of Churumuri may also include roasted peanuts, fried gram, and sev.

There are several variations of Churumuri, including Masala Churumuri, Tomato Churumuri, and Mandakki Churumuri. Each variation has its own unique combination of ingredients and flavors.

Health Benefits

Churumuri is a low-calorie snack that is high in fiber and nutrients due to the variety of vegetables used in its preparation. It is also vegan and gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions.
