Jhalmuri (Bengali: ঝালমুড়ি, Odia: ଝାଲ ମୁଢ଼ି) is a popular street snack popular in Bengali/Bihar/Odia, made of puffed rice and an assortment of spices, vegetables, chanachur and mustard oil.[1] It is popular in Bangladesh[2] and in the neighbouring States in India - Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha.[3] It became popular in London when a British chef named Angus Denoon tried this snack in Kolkata and started selling it on streets of London.[4] Popularity of Jhalmuri has also reached other western cities like New York City through the Bangladeshi diaspora.[5]
