Rock salt : 1/4 tsp
Chat masala : 1/4 tsp ( optional )

Method :
Take all vegetables, onion, masalas in a wide mouthed vessel and mix well.

Then break poories or pappads into small pieces and mix well.
Finally add puffed rice. Adjust salt and chilly powder.

Enjoy with a hot coffee/tea.

The amount of vegetables can be added according to taste and availability.
It should be prepared and consumed immediately. Otherwise it will become watery and saggy.
