Murmura namkeen or murmura chivda is a healthy, light and crunchy snack. It takes only 15 minutes to prepare this crispy namkeen with no fancy ingredients. This crispy murmura chivda is prepared tossing peanut, murmura, poha in spices with green chili and mustard seed tempering.
Murmura is also known as laiya(l-eee-yaa) or laayi(la-e). This chivda is crunchy, spicy and little sweet, my kids are crazy for this taste. Murmura or puffed rice is also a key ingredient to street food like bhelpuri and jhalmuri, you can make laddu, chikki, and many more recipes using puffed rice.
It is a very demanding snack at my home, all four are crazy for this namkeen. I make it in bulk and store in airtight container. Its shelf life is great if kept with proper care. Puffed rice becomes soggy if kept in open air for a longer time. This recipe can easily scale down as per the requirement.

Murmura Namkeen | Murmura Chivda
Ingredient 30 Serving
6 Cup murmura or puffed rice
2 Cup peanut
1.5 Cup poha or rice flakes
2 Tblsp oil
1 Sprig of curry leaves
1 teaspoon cumin seed
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
1 Green chili chopped
½ teaspoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon mustard seed
Salt as per taste
Method
- First of all, dry roast murmura, peanut, and poha. This makes all the ingredients super crunchy.
- Heat oil in a heavy kadhai on medium flame. Add curry leaves and green chili. Once they stop spluttering add mustard seed and cumin seed. Let them crackle.
- Now add turmeric powder and sugar, mix well. Finally add dry roasted murmura, peanut, and poha.
- Mix properly and stir for 1-2 minute on low flame. Adjust salt as per taste.
- Murmura namkeen or murmura chivda is ready to enjoy with adrak vali chai.
Note
- Storebought murmura is not always crispy. I make sure to dry roast it first.
- Keep it in an airtight container. Murmura becomes soggy if kept open for the longer duration.
- A lot of variation can be done by adding lotus seeds, dry coconut flakes, dry fruits like cashew, almond, raisin, boondi and much more to add. But basic remains the same.
