Jhalmuri

Jhalmuri (, , , , ) is a popular street snack in the Bengali, Bihari, Bhojpuri, Odia, Assamese and Tripuri cuisine of the Indian subcontinent, made of puffed rice and an assortment of Indian spices, vegetables, Bombay mix (chanachur) and mustard oil. It is popular in Bangladesh and in the neighbouring Indian states of Bihar, West Bengal, Tripura, eastern Uttar Pradesh, Odisha. It became popular in London when a British chef named Angus Denoon tried this snack in Kolkata and started selling it on the streets of London. The popularity of Jhalmuri has also reached other western cities like New York City through the Bangladeshi diaspora. Ghoti Gorom () is another similar street snack food famous in Bengal, Bangladesh and North East India. Ghoti gorom is very similar to such street food like Jhal muri, bhel or dhal muri, similar in taste but does not have puffed rice or murmura. Ghoti gorom consists of sev/bhujiya mixed with chanachur (a spicy mixture), chopped onions, green chilies, chopped raw mango slices, mustard oil, and various other spices.

Widely enjoyed for its spicy and tangy flavor, Jhalmuri is especially beloved in Bangladesh, where it holds the status of a cultural staple and is often regarded as a symbol of the country's vibrant street food scene. It is considered by many to be part of Bangladesh's cultural heritage and is commonly found across cities and towns, sold by street vendors in paper cones or small bowls.
