Pori Urundai / Puffed Rice Balls - Karthigai Deepam Recipes

Pori Urundai is a very neglected snack recipe enough though it is very easy, sweet, tasty and healthy. I think Pori Urundai was associated with Karthigai deepam which comes immediately after diwali because Pori Urundai is light sweet and it is not good to have heavy sweet just some time after the diwali festival when we have already had enough heavy sweets. Make Pori Urundai as often  and especially as a sweet balance when you preparing some spicy puffed rice.
