This weekend I am very excited that I am visiting my friends and family. No matter what material gifts I bring to family and friends, I am most happy when I bring them something specially prepared from my kitchen. With the intention of buying some base ingredients for my snack preparation, I visited my local Indian store. There I saw a whole stash of Indian snacks and I thought maybe this time around, I could buy some snacks. Just then, I discovered a big bag of puffed whole wheat. It resembled a giant puffed rice or a capsule. Curious I picked up the packet and decided to make something with it. For all those who are looking for a healthy snack here is one. It was greatly enjoyed by everyone who received as gifts.

Turmeric Powder - 1 tbsp
Chilli Powder - 2 tsp
Garlic Powder - 2 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp

2. Add asafoetida, chili and turmeric powder, green chilies and curry leaves and give it a toss for a few seconds.
