Indian Cookery Lessons

Jhalmuri:

Jhalmuri is a very popular, mouthwatering dish loved by people of all
ages in India. It is a light dish made of spicy puffed rice and is very easy to
make. It is mostly sold at roadside stalls rather than in restaurants!

Serves 6:
Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Kellogs Rice crisps - 50 gm
Puffed rice - 50 gm
Haldiram Bombay mix - 50 gm
Tomato, finely chopped - 1 large
Potato boiled, finely chopped - 2 large
Cucumber -1small piece or around 50 gm.
Onion, finely chopped -1 medium
Ginger, finely chopped - 1 small piece
Green chillie, finely chopped - 1
Green coriander, freshly chopped - 1 small bunch.
Lime juice - 1 lemon
Salt - 2 teaspoons or to taste.

Method:

Boil potatoes. Peel the skin and chop them into smaller pieces. Remove seeds from the
tomato and chop them into smaller pieces too.

Chop rest of the vegetables into smaller pieces, i.e. cucumber, onions, ginger, green chilli
and coriander.

Take a big bowl. Add puffed rice, rice crisps and mix Haldiram Bombay mixture to it.

Then add boiled potatoes, tomatoes, onion, cucumber, ginger, green chillie and coriander
to it.

Mix them all together. Add salt and lime juice according to taste and preference.

Serve with a hot cup of tea, coffee or chilled mango shake.

Tips!

Serve Jhalmuri immediately after mixing it with lime juice to
enjoy the crisp and crunchy taste. It will turn soggy if left
around for too long! Haldiram Bombay Mix can be very hot,
medium or mild in hotness. Choose one that suits your taste
buds!

Variation:

To make a more child friendly version of the same dish,
simply leave out the chilli, ginger and add only those
vegetables that your child likes. You can also choose a
Bombay Mix that is less spicy or simply use salted peanuts
instead.
