Jhalmuri

🇮🇳 Indian

Jhalmuri — the reason standing at a street counter beats sitting in most restaurants. About 30 minutes from fridge to table.

Prep 15 min Cook 15 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, chopped
  • Tomato1, chopped
  • Green Chili1
  • Lemon1
  • Peanuts2 tbsp
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Mustard Oil1 tbsp
  • Puffed Rice (Murmura)4 cups
  • Panch Phoron1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every component prepped and cold where it should be cold, hot where it should be hot.

  2. 2

    Build or cook the base exactly as the name promises — no shortcuts, the street does not allow them.

  3. 3

    Layer the flavours: something soft, something sharp, something crunchy, always a final dust of masala.

  4. 4

    Eat immediately. Street food has a five-minute window and it knows it.

Chef's tip

Chaat masala goes on at the end, always — ahead of time it wilts everything.
