Jhal Muri

No street food list in Kolkata is complete without its favourite jhal muri stalls. Puffed rice or muri is mixed with a variety of dry and wet toppings from tomatoes, onions, cucumber, special spice blends, pickles, boiled potatoes, peanuts, bhujia, coconut and plenty of green chillis. This is the go-to evening snack that goes exceptionally well with hot chai. Though everyone has their local muriwala who customises as per taste, the jhal muri vendors outside New Market, Vardaan Market as well as those outside Lake Kalibari are rightly famous for their perfect mix priced between Rs20 a plate.
