HOW TO MAKE MANDAKKI OGARANE (PORI UPMA)?

MANDAKKI OGARANE- A NORTH KARNATAKA SPECIAL DISH USING PUFFED RICE.

Mandakki Ogarane is a Uttara Karnataka (North Karnataka) special dish that uses Puffed rice which Pori in Tamil and Murmura in Hindi. Some people call this Kadale Puri usili while some call it Sushila. But however you want to call it, this humble mandakki ogarane is a revelation.

This is eaten in different ways in Karnataka. And i have our own version, replete with sev et al. Some people add powdered roasted gram dal (puttani/ pottu kadalai) to this. This is especially done if you soak your Mandakki for a long time and they become mushy. Skip this step if your Mandakki is not soggy.
