Back with a Bhadang- Puffed rice chivda

I used to go to Sangli frequently when my Uncle used to stay there. Like other famous things in Sangli, I used to freak out on the famous 'Bhadang'. It is a puffed rice (churmere/Murmura) Chivda. But it contains variety of spices in it. It's Murmura also little bigger than our normal one. My Kaku (Aunty) makes perfect bhadang. I took this recipe from her precious recipe book and tried it. It was not that perfect as her but was very tasty.
