In Bengali ( Eastern province of India), "Jhal" means spicy and "Muri" means puffed rice. The puffed rice Jhal Muri is a Bengali snack. It is also a very known street food snack from Kolkata, India. It carries a spicy punchy taste followed by some tidbits of peanuts, onion, potato, green chillies, and some spicy herbs and spice mix. The addition of mustard oil in it is its speciality which gives this snack a whole new measure of aroma and flavour.
