Savory Puffed Rice for Toddlers & Kids
Savory Puffed Rice used to be our basic snack option and always available at home. Made from rice and crispy in texture puffed rice or murmura always makes for a great snack for toddlers and kids. Adjust the spice according to your kids’ liking and a great family snack would be ready in just ten minutes.
Plain puffed rice can be offered to even babies as a finger food. Instead of carrying packed junk foods one can easily make this at home a day prior for any of your family trip or picnic. Going forward I plan to share lot of snack recipes with the holidays just coming in. Please keep a watch.
This is an ideal snack for breastfeeding mother as its made in ghee and we’ve added lots of nuts to make it nutritious. It also makes for a great snack box option for kids.
