Suddenly craving kaara pori so badly these days, the spicy masala one. But im not sure if all the spice and the stuff they add is okay now. Anyone had it during pregnancy without issues?
Aiyo kaara pori cravings, I had them too. It's basically puffed rice with spices, so a small bowl now and then is okay ma. Just it's usually salty and spicy, so dont have a lot if you get acidity or your BP is being watched.
These light crunchy snacks were the only thing I wanted some days. Kaara pori is gentle on the tummy mostly, just go easy on the spice if heartburn is your enemy like it was for me. Small portion, fresh one.
Light snack like that is fine in moderation. Puffed rice itself is harmless, it's the masala and salt to watch. If it's freshly made and not too oily or spicy, enjoy a little when the craving hits.
It's lighter than fried snacks which is good. I just kept an eye on portions since puffed rice can spike sugar quickly. If your reports are normal, a small serve occasionally is okay, dont make it a daily munch.
