Bhadang/spicy murmura/kadle puri

Bhadang is a popular snack of Maharashtra ,Karnataka and some other parts of India, the name may vary from region to region.In karnataka we call it kadle puri and  north Indians call it masala murmura. 

          This is one of my family  favourite snack which can be made very quickly and can be eaten as snacks, especially with tea or coffee. It can be spiced up with onions, coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice for that extra zing!
