Jhaal Muri ( Kolkata Street Food) | Jhal Muri | How to make Jhaal Muri at home | Quick and Easy Tea time Snack

Hi Supermoms,

The puffed rice is known by various names.

 Muri in Bengali,Mandakki in kannada, Pori in Tamil, Mudhi in Odisha, Murmure in Hindi, Phulian in Punjabi,just to name a few. The puffed rice is a perfect ingredient to make a light snack. 

Bhelpuri from Mumbai and Jhaalmuri from Kolkata are the most popular Street food made with puffed rice.

I personally love snacking on the Pori. It is so easily available in any part of India. Every city has it's own  speciality dish with this versatile Pori/ Muri.

Presenting ,

Jhaal Muri, the most popular street food of Kolkata.

     

This is a simple snack to make. All you need to do is collect the ingredients and assemble them .   The beauty of this streetfood is that it can be had in any season. So light,tangy and refreshing. It does not require the different chutneys that is prepared for Bhelpuri.

In the streets of Kolkata, you can see the Jhaal Muri bhaiyyas serving this Chaat in newspaper cones. Each bhaiyya will have his own recipe and style of mixing the ingredients. This is my humble attempt to recreate this awesome Streetfood.

Here, take a packet of Jhaalmuri Supermoms !!
