How to make Uggrani

Clean the puffed rice. Soak it in a big bowl of water for 30-40 seconds. (Ensure each grain is soaked well.)
Drain the water. Take a little of it and squeeze using your palms. Repeat this process for the rest of the quantity. (We want puffed rice to be damp but not wet.)
Heat oil in a big pan. Add mustard seeds and let it splutter. Then add cumin seeds and fry for 5 seconds.
Next add peanuts, fry till it turns a little brown in colour. Add urad dal. and fry it till it turns brown. Then add dried red chillies, curry leaves and fry for another 10 seconds.
Now add the soaked and squeezed puffed rice. Also add in salt to taste and mix it well. Add mill roasted chana dal powder and stir well.
Turn off the flame, add the coriander leaves to garnish.
Sprinkle lemon juice on top and serve it hot.

My Tip:

Based on one's taste, sliced onions can be added too.
