Hacchida Churamuri (Mamra/Kurmure)

This is all time favorite at home. Since its low fat option, I dont think twice to give it my son as a snack. You find this snack mostly in trains. Aah, the smell of raw onions, tomatoes and mamra!!! Makes my mouth water any time and reminds me of all the childhood train journeys with my family.
