Frequently Asked Questions
How do I bring back crunch if the mamra turns soft?
Dry roast it in a wide pan over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, or warm it briefly in the oven. Let it cool completely before storing.
What is special about Kolhapuri mamra?
It is associated with the Kolhapur region of Maharashtra and is valued for crisp, slightly larger grains that suit spicy bhadang and bhel.
How should I store a 5 lb bag?
Transfer portions into airtight jars and keep them in a cool, dry cupboard. Humidity is the main enemy of puffed rice, so seal the bag well after each use.
Keep the bhel bowl full all season with a bulk bag from SubziCart.com.
