This is a crispy side dish which is suitable for eating with plain rice. As we called in Sri Lanka, this spicy crispy baduma is cooked with deep fried Sprats, peanuts (ratakaju) and Kathurumurunga leaves. In case if you cannot find kathurumurunga leaves (Agathi leaves), then you can use curry leaves. Still, it is a crispy side.

This Fried Sprats, peanuts and Kathurumurunga leaves Baduma is easy to prepare. Simply deep fry all the ingredients and finally mix together and sprinkle some salt.
