What it is

Pori is rice that has been heated until each grain puffs up light and hollow. It is the base of bhel on Mumbai beaches, the pori urundai made for Karthigai Deepam, and the pori, kadalai and sugar handed out on Ayudha Pooja.

It has almost no taste of its own, just a clean, toasty crunch, so it takes on whatever goes with it: tamarind chutney and sev, jaggery syrup, or a quick tempering with peanuts and curry leaves. Choosing between rice snacks? Puffed rice for bhel and urundai; nel pori for Karthigai; aval (poha) for upma and sweet aval.

Tip: If the pori has gone soft, spread it on a tray and warm it in a low oven for five minutes. It crisps up again.

Goes well with: Laxminarayan Dry Bhel, Sri Durga Jaggery Balls (Brown), Natures Nelpori
