Kismuri also known as Koshimbir/Kosumbari is often a part of Konkani cuisine. We make kismuri with a Bittergourd (Karathe Kismuri), Carrot, Surnu (Yam) etc. One among such quick fix kismuri is made from Happolu. Happolu is Red coloured Chilli Papad. In earlier days during summer, ladies used to make Papad's from Wheat, Urad Dal, Red chilli and Urad Dal and different types of sandige. This was basically done so that they could preserve this for rainy season when it was difficult to get vegetables easily. We do not make these at home and usually buy from stores. Traditionally happolu is fried on charcoal stove and coconut oil is smeared over it. Anyways, This kismuri is one of our fav's. It is very simple to make and goes well as a side dish with simple pej (Rice Porridge/Konji) or White rice with some dal.
What's needed:
5-6 Red Happolu deep fried
3/4 cup grated Coconut
1 small Onion chopped fine
Salt to taste
Procedure:
Mix salt + Grated coconut + Onion pieces well. Crush Happolu and add it to the mixture. Serve immediately as the happolu turns soft and soggy after a while.

Never heard of this Uj, looks like a quick and easy snack for parties.
something new..looks good
Hmm..my hubby's favorite..he gorges on this when I make Kanji..nice pic too!!
We roast the chilli happolu instead of frying, and apply a little oil to it. We also crush it very vell. Each piece is about half the size of pumpkin seeds.
we sometimes also add jeera.b
We add green chilly along with coconut.
