Desi Puffed Rice is a beloved South Asian pantry staple used in a wonderful variety of street foods and homemade snacks. Airy and light with a subtle toasty flavour, puffed rice is the base of bhel puri, jhal muri, and chivda — three of the subcontinent’s most popular street-food snacks — as well as a comforting breakfast cereal with warm milk. In Nepal and across South Asia, puffed rice is also eaten as a simple snack with tea or tossed with spices, chopped onions, and a squeeze of lime for an instant, satisfying munch. This 400g bag is a great value pantry addition that opens up a world of quick, easy, and authentically flavoured snacks.
