About Jhal murmura

Jhal Murmura is a popular Indian street food snack originating from Bengal, known for its light, flavorful mix of puffed rice (murmura) combined with chopped vegetables, mustard oil, and a blend of spices. Ingredients typically include roasted peanuts, coriander leaves, green chilies, diced onions, tomatoes, and sometimes sev or fried lentil crisps for added texture. This savory snack is naturally low in calories, making it a great option for a light bite or mid-day craving. It's high in fiber due to the puffed rice and fresh vegetables, aiding digestion. The peanuts contribute protein and healthy fats, while mustard oil offers a unique flavor and potential heart-health benefits in moderated amounts. However, Jhal Murmura may be high in sodium if over-seasoned, and its nutritional value depends on portion size and added ingredients. Balanced preparation ensures it remains a healthy and delicious snack option enjoyed across Indian households and streets.
