PUFFED RICE UPMA RECIPE

Mandakki Oggarne / puffed rice upma is one famous street food across North Karnataka and parts of Andhra Pradesh and is typically relished along with Mirchi bajji and kadak chai . As the name suggests , it’s made with soaked puffed rice, onions, peanuts, and curry leaves , they are Easy to make and yummy to taste.

Puffed rice is one handy snack and I usually stock them in my kitchen . I have shared before few recipes using puffed rice like puffed rice chiwda , puffed rice laddu , tomato slice and today it’s upma. One can enjoy them as a breakfast or snack or light dinner. I usually make it for weekend breakfast as they are quick to fix .

Puffed rice upma is also called mandakki oggarne or or mandakki usli / mandakki susla in Kannada, Pori upma in Tamil, Borugula Upma or uggani in Telugu, and Murmura Upma in North India. Though each region has slight different variation, the end result is always tasty. Addition of powder of roasted gram gives a nice special nutty taste .So don’t skip.

Few Points to note while making Puffed Rice Upma : 

  • Don’t over soak puffed rice for a longer duration and make it mushy. Squeeze out remove water nicely.
  • You can add finely chopped veggies like carrot, beans capsicum etc to make it more healthy.
  • The secret ingredient which gives an authentic taste to mandakki oggarne /susla is the addition of fried gram/putani powder / hurikadle. So dont skip it.
  • Don’t use hollow variety / bhel variety puffed rice to make this dish  .
