Less oil, yet crunchy. During school days Amma always make it and keep it in a box. It is one of my favorite snacks growing up. Everytime I visit kitchen I will look for kara Pori dhabba and keep munching it. Amma always use coconut oil to prepare it and it gives a nice tasty flavor. Kara Pori will stay fresh for 2-3 days but in our home it generally won’t last more than 2 days. Aval mixture and roasted makhana are other tasty and healthy snacks
