Fry till mustard seed pop put and ground nut changes its color. Now add in crushed garlic and fry till raw smell goes off and becomes crisp.

Notes/Alternate:

• I fry crushed garlic along with tsp of oil in a small separate seasoning pan at the end and add it to  half of my spicy kadle pori. That way I make both versions with/without garlic.
• You can use asafoetida instead of garlic, but garlic really gives a nice aroma to this kadle puri.
• be careful while adding salt, as puffed rice contains little salt sometimes.
• Feel free to plus and minus the quantity of  ingredients as per your preference.
