How to make Crunchy and Tasty Beach style Pori ?
Make it fresh when you are ready to serve – We are adding vegetables like carrot, tomato, onion which makes the Pori (puffed rice) soggy very quickly. Hence always keep the ingredients ready and mix it when you are going to serve
Adjust Salt, Chili Powder and Lemon Juice based on your taste !. If you are making it for guests, please check with them and adjust these ingredients accordingly.
Ensure that the Pori (Puffed Rice) is fresh and crunchy – If it’s not crispy then you may want roast it in a pan / Microwave for a minute. The crunchiness is important for this recipe.
Use the variations – You can also add finely chopped beetroot, cucumber pieces based on your liking. I have noticed that some add chat masala to get slightly different taste.
