Jhaal Moori - Another version of Bhel Puri

Well Jhaal Moori is basically very tikha/hot puffed rice mixed in mustard oil, raw onion, cucumber and all those tikha khatta masala along with peanuts, green chillies and fried grated sewai.. The meaning of Jhaal Moori is jhaal in Bengali means very tikha/hot. And Moori in Bengali means Puffed Rice. This particular item is very spicy and tasty. Thus where the name came from.

Since I am into typical Bengali cuisine, I wanted to make it sholo aanaa Bangali, meaning, 100% bengali. Keep in mind that the entire thing should be very spicy and full of green chilies. In bengali "jhaal" means tikha or chili hot. So you can well understand.
