How to Make Namkeen
First, lightly roast curry leaves, mint, fresh coriander, and green chilli in a pan. Roast only for a few seconds until aromatic. Then cool slightly and grind into a coarse paste.
Next, dry roast peanuts, green raisins, and chopped almonds separately. Keep them aside.
Meanwhile, take one small bowl and mix all the spices. This ensures even flavour distribution.
After that, take a large mixing bowl. Add rice puff (murmura).
Now add the prepared mint-coriander-curry leaves paste. Then add roasted peanuts, almonds, and raisins.
Sprinkle the prepared spice mix evenly on top.
Finally, mix everything gently so the rice puff remains crisp. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes so the flavours blend beautifully.
