If I had to pick one favorite from all the gastronomical delights in the city of Mysore, Churmuri it is !! Our trips to Mysore is never complete without eating Churmuri, every single time.

For the uninitiated, Churmuri is like Bhel Puri (But they both are not the same 😀 )

Made with Puffed Rice, Onions, Tomatoes & Carrots, the highlight is the use of Red Chilli Powder & Coconut Oil which is a huge flavor bomb & it is what makes Churmuri so different & Special.
