Churumuri is a popular street food originating from the Indian state of Karnataka. It is a light, healthy snack made primarily from puffed rice, vegetables, and a variety of spices.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "Churumuri" is derived from two Kannada words: "churu," which means "to taste," and "muri," which means "puffed rice." Thus, "Churumuri" can be loosely translated to "tasty puffed rice."
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
Churumuri is typically made from puffed rice, finely chopped onion, tomato, carrot, raw mango, and coriander leaves. 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.
Variations[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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.
