Kaara Pori | Masala Pori | Spicy garlicy pori

 

This kaara pori is a quick and healthy snack, can be prepared in a jiffy. I like it with crushed garlic and red chilly powder. This can be prepared as a evening snack and also stored for a week. It stays good for a week if stored in a clean and dry container. You can use any spice powders as per your liking and enjoy!
