It is a light snacking option and is a quick fixture to satisfy evening pangs.

During visual inspection we noticed that there are no sand particles or dry grit in this murmura. We checked for this because during the manufacturing process, rice are roasted in sand at high heat which is later sieved. But in some packs the sand isn’t sieved well, which is why we feel some grit upon eating.
We tried the Deepak brand murmura by turning it into a basic namkeen recipe. We used ¼ tsp oil, salt, murmura and turmeric. We roasted this mix on high flame for about 3 to 4 minutes. The result was a bowl of crispy murmura prepared in no time.
Individually the murmuras are fresh tasting and have a pronounced crunch.
