So many varieties of of home made snacks, sweets will be stocked in the boxes. We used to have restless play from the morning and only rest time is the eating time like breakfast, lunch, snack time in the evening and Dinner. I miss all those wonderful golden days now. Ok coming to the snack time we used to have variety of snacks.. The garam borugulu which I am sharing today is the puffed rice snack.
I don't know exactly why they call with the word 'Garam' may be garam in Hindi means hot you can take it as spicy too. Yah this snack you can make it according to your spicy level and you can call it as South Bhel puri too. Ok whatever the name may be its is one of our favorite snack for everyone almost have everyday with different flavors. There are lot of items that you can do with puffed rice like bhel puri, upma, dosa, seasoning the borugulu, Sweet balls made out of jaggery etc the list goes. This is really interesting and yummy which you can make with 4 different flavors or mixtures. Very easy to make and all you need is Borugulu(puffed rice) in Handy.

What a delicious array, Pavithra! I love how you've demonstrated so many different and delicious ways of serving up one ingredient. I would love to have one-- or all of those-- right now.
Garam borugulu (carrot-beet combination) is my all time favourite. I relish this chaat item in my native with my friends during school days. Will have to definitely try the on the garlic garam (which is new to me) sometime. You have a lovely and impressive blog with all the yummy recipes. Had just went through all the items at a once today. You must be a really great cook since you have prepared surruta polli single handedly. All those telugu recipes reminded me of my days back at home.
Great blog and your blog is gonna be my reference from now on so that I dont need to bug my Amma :-)
