Muri (food)

Muri is a type of snack that is made from puffed rice. It is a common food in India, Bangladesh, and some other parts of South Asia.

The process of making muri starts with soaking raw rice in water for a few hours. Then the rice is drained and spread out in the sun to dry. When the rice is completely dry, it is roasted in a special oven or pan. This roasting process makes the rice grains pop, like popcorn, and turn into puffy little circles.

These puffed rice circles are then seasoned with spices, such as salt, turmeric, chili powder, or cumin. Some people also add peanuts, dried fruit, or other toppings to make the muri more flavorful.

Muri is usually eaten as a snack, either on its own or with other foods like vegetables, chutney, or yogurt. It is a popular food because it is crunchy, tasty, and easy to carry around. You can even make your own muri at home, using a special popping machine or a regular pan.
