How to prepare Herbed Rice Pops ?

Bring all the ingredients together, and mix along with some dry fruits and nuts. Serve immediately. Spice level can be varied using pepper or paprika, and chaat masala. Skip this if you are serving this to a year old infant. Salt is usually present in puffed rice, so I usually skip it. You can add salt on need basis.

OR put them in the oven, and it will be ready within 10 mins. This increases the shell life, and can be stored in an air tight container upto a week. I prepare this once a week, and take it along with us as a snack when needed. Makes a very good travel snack for my little one.
