Rice Puffs Chatpate
Muri, or Chatpate or Rice Puffs snack is a popular street food in Nepal & India. It’s oil-free, full of veggies, light, spicy, and surprisingly crunchy.
Chatpate is so easy to put together. Just prepare the ingredients (mostly dicing and chopping the veggies), toss them in a large bowl, give them a quick mix, and you’re done!

Ok, I got this “puffed rice” from an Indian store (they are also called rice crispies?). Just made it as a snack and wow, it’s so light, spicy and yum! I think I’ll be making some more.
This was amazing. I experimented and tried avocado and the results were even better.
OMG! This looks seriously delicious. I first found out about this recipe from my nepali neighbours but I forgot its name at the time. So glad I found it here.
