How to make Mudhi-Nadia: Recipe for a Completely Vegetarian East Indian Snack

If it is a raining afternoon and you feel like doing nothing but enjoy looking at the rain, there can be no better way than sitting relaxed on a chair in the balcony and having a bowl of Mudhi Nadia. 'Mudhi' is a local name for puffed rice that can be prepared at home or purchased from the market. Puffed rice is very popular snack stored in almost every house in Orissa in a ready to eat form.
