JIYO JHAL MURI ....

JHALMURI WALAS

I took this pic from the bus when the bus stopped in Jharsuguda ( one and half hr travel form rourkela by trian).I was stuck in that bus, it was around 12:45 pm...the day was so hot n sticky yet these jahlmuri-walas were there looking out for people to come have a buy from their stalls. 

Another trip to Sambalpur.,but this time by bus.

Just the very thought of it brings my back muscles to shout and say 'oh noooo'
 well am not here to say abt the 'extremely -COMFY' ride i had ..... I am here to talk abt the snack called 'JHAL MURI' or in english 'Spicy-Puffed-Rice'.

Jhalmuri is a very very common snack, having its root from our neighbouring state West Bengal.
Jhal muri  khabaar ke khoob bhalo ...khoob moja
Never before was puffed rice treated with so much of respect !!
Its made out of puffed rice, chopped onions,tomatoes,potatoes,mustardoil,peanuts,carrots etc,etc

This snack is dry and each of the Jhalmuri wala ( the vendor) have his own recipe. 

One is sure to come across this item while traveling by train in states like Odisha,Bihar,WB,UP,Jharkhand......

when it comes to the best train-snack...nothing can beat this Jhal-muri !! :)
Its yummy,tummy-filling and a typical time-pass snack.It looks colourful, has so much of healthy stuffs in it..and is easily affordable.

Lamba safar...khidki ke bahar ho nazar,

haath mein ho ek kaagaz ki potli, potli mein tab ho chatpati jhal-muri,

haath apna kaam karti rahe..khud ko jhal-muri khilate rahe.... 

is lambey safer mein aur kya maange? 

koi apna saath chale... kisi aur ka bhi apna uske saath chale..

gaadi chalti rahe aur apna muh bhi chalta rahe...

It's a must taste local snack... i highly recommend. Moreover its high in flavour and low in fat !

Do enjoy.....
