Muntha Masala Pidata Kinda Pappu Puffed Rice Masala Bhel Masala
Muntha Masala is a delicious Andhra street food and this is my much loved food from childhood.
The street person or the bandiwala place an earthen vessel on hot coal with a stack of maramaralu/puffed rice and prepare this Masala by taking the puffed rice from below the vessel so that the masala food can be prepared by the roasted puffed rice.
So this name comes for this recipe as pidata (vessel) kinda (under) pappu (masala/food).The bandiwala place all the ingredients and he mixes well in a coconut shell with a stick and serves in a newspaper/banana leaf (potlalu) with palm leaf spoon.
When I was kid and whenever we folks visited our native place Bandar/Kakinada during our school holidays this used to be ours everyday snack we used to buy them from bandiwala and loved to have this snack which was placed (potlalu). Scrummy one!!
This snack is a crispy and simple one which can be prepared in no time.
