Step-by-Step Recipe for Making Murmura Chivda | Kurmura Chivda

1. Before you start making the Murmura Chiva, I would recommend that you keep all the ingredients ready and within arm’s reach. This is because here there is very little time between adding ingredients and a danger of something burning if you are not quick enough.
2. Take a Kadhai that is large enough so that you can comfortably stir-fry the Kurmura Chivda. 200 gms is quite a large amount of kurmura/murmura.
3. Add the oil to the Kadhai and heat till it is hot.
4. Now add the peanuts and stir-fry till they just start to change colour, about a minute. The peanuts will fry further after we add the other ingredients.
