As Indian spicy puffed rice spread across India, different regions made their own versions:
In Bengal, people make it spicier. They use mustard oil and usually skip the tamarind sauce. It has a strong, tangy flavour that makes your taste buds tingle!
In Karnataka, it’s a simple mix of puffed rice, onions, tomatoes, and coriander. Sometimes, they add a little coconut oil for flavour.
Fresh, very light, with vegetables and Indian spices - make it perfect for a quick snack.
In Western Maharashtra, this version is drier and spicier. Unlike the Mumbai style, it doesn’t have liquid chutneys. People love it for its crunchy, fiery kick that keeps you coming back for more.
Indian spicy puffed rice didn’t just land in the UK. It came here with stories, memories and people who loved its cheerful crunch. When Indian families moved to Britain from the 1950s onwards, they brought their favourite street snacks with them.
