Notes
If the murmura is not perfectly crispy, dry roast it in a pan for 2-3 minutes on low flame. You can also microwave it for 60-90 seconds, or until it becomes crisp.
You can also add roasted peanuts, boiled yellow peas, sprouted chana, finely chopped raw mangoes, chana jor garam (chanachur), etc, to your recipe.
Adjust the chilies as per your taste.
