Beach Style Puffed Rice and Peanut Sundal Recipe

Raw mangoes on season, it reminded the beach sundal so grabbed it from store. I were in Chennai for few years. In beaches we get two options from street sundal seller either puffed Rice/masala sundal or the plain peanut sundal, so today’s recipe fall on both these categories…Whenever I visit, I prefer to have plain peanut sundal. Frequently make without mango but if possibly substitute all ingredients then it fulfills the originality. The very first munch with paper cone well reminds the relaxed time spent at beach. If making this for Navratri festive, skip onion/chat masala as you wish…This is the perfect sundal for evening snack during this weekend I guess…
