Furandana

Furandana or Furundan is a variety of fried puffed beaten rice. 
 
Furandana is very popular spicy snack in Nepal. Function is made and served during traditional and culture functions.  Making and eating of furundana during Dashain and tihar with Kakro ko Achar adds greater fun to these festivals.
  
People love to eat furundana during marriage ceremony, Bartabanda and other gatherings. Furandana is considered pure vegetarian snack, hence using garlic, tomato and onions in it are forbidden.
 
Some people prefer adding cashew, almonds and other dry fruits in furandana but these take away real taste of furundana from it. Traditional furandana is salty and dry fruits generally go with sweets.  However, it is preference of the eater.
