Kurkure Spicy Snacks are delicious flour based Indian nibbles. However, these have a mix of spicy for that hidden hit. Instead of the usual popcorn or cheese and onion crisps give these a try. I first had these at a neighbours house years ago and every time she makes them, I get a bowl. Finally, she gave me the recipe and it only takes 10 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to cook. I haven’t purchased from chips/crisps from a shop since. Serve as a snack or as a side dish.
Kurkure Spicy Snacks
A spicy homemade snack that makes a change from the bulk produced junk you buy in the shops. This can be tailored to your tastes with the spices. Delicious.
