Muri Price in Bangladesh

Muri, or puffed rice, is one of Bangladesh’s everyday foods — tossed with onion, chilli and mustard oil in the afternoon, mixed with chola and piyaju for iftar, or eaten with tea and molasses. This shelf carries plain and red muri alongside chira (flattened rice), chatu and traditional sweet and savoury snacks.

Puffed Rice sits under Snacks.

Kinds of Muri and Rice Snacks

Factory muri	Larger, lighter, uniform grains in sealed packs
Chira	Flattened rice, plain or fried with masala
Chatu	Roasted barley or mixed-grain flour, stirred into water or milk
Muri mowa, murali, naru	Sweets made with molasses, sugar or sesame

Why People Ask for Hand-Made Muri

Hand-made muri is valued for its taste and crunch, and many families prefer it because they want muri made with nothing but rice and salt. Food authorities have warned in the past about urea or hydrose used to whiten and enlarge muri. Whichever you buy, read the ingredient list: it should name rice and salt only.

Muri for Iftar

Muri makha is at the centre of most iftar tables in Ramadan. Mix muri with chola, piyaju, beguni, chopped onion, green chilli and a spoon of mustard oil just before serving; muri goes soggy within minutes of meeting wet ingredients.

A Light Snack

Plain muri is low in fat and light on the stomach, which makes it a popular snack for people who are unwell or watching weight. It is still mostly starch and raises blood sugar quickly, so people with diabetes should keep portions modest and add protein such as roasted chola or peanuts. Watch the salt in flavoured muri and fried chira.

Chira and Chatu

Chira soaked in water or milk with banana and molasses is a quick breakfast, and fried masala chira is a crunchy tea-time snack. Chatu is a traditional summer drink: stirred into water with a little sugar or molasses and lemon, it is filling and cooling on hot days.

Jhal Muri at Home

Street-side jhal muri is easy to make at home. Combine muri, finely chopped onion, green chilli, coriander, a little chanachur or roasted peanuts, a squeeze of lemon and a spoon of mustard oil, then toss and eat at once. Add boiled potato or cucumber for a more filling bowl.

Winter Sweets

Muri mowa and murali made with date-palm molasses (khejur gur) are winter treats, especially in the months when fresh gur arrives. Til naru adds sesame. They are sweets, so keep them for occasional treats rather than a daily snack.

Keeping Muri Crisp

Muri absorbs moisture from the air and goes soft within a day of opening in the monsoon. Tip it into an airtight tin or jar, keep it away from the stove, and re-crisp soft muri in a dry frying pan over low heat for a couple of minutes.

For Children and Elders

Soft muri with milk is an easy food for older people with few teeth, and a small bowl of muri makes a light school snack. For toddlers, avoid hard sweets like naru and whole roasted chola, which can cause choking.

Muri Price in Bangladesh

Factory muri in large packs costs least per bag; hand-made and red aman muri cost more, and traditional sweets sit higher again.
