Chirar (flat-rice) naru
Chirar naru is a traditional and popular snack item throughout Bangladesh. But now-a-days it is no longer seen in the cities because it is quite difficult to make. Different types of naru are made from different ingredients, like, coconut-naru, sesame-naru, puffed rice-naru etc.
Ingredients:
2 cups flat rice
1 cup grated coconut
1 cup jaggery
4 tbsp ghee
4 tbsp water
Method:
Fry the flat-rice without oil until light brown. Crush the rice and keep it aside. Mix coconut, jaggery and water together. Cook the mixture for five minutes. When it takes a sticky texture, add the flat-rice and ghee to it. Mix thoroughly and remove the pan. Let the mixture cool down.
Take a small amount of mixture at a time and give them round shape with your hand. It can be preserved in a air-tight container for a long time.
Tip: You can keep the naru crispy for a long time by wrapping them inside butter-paper or kitchen tissue.
