PM Modi Jhalmuri Recipe- The hero of Jhalmuri is murmura (puffed rice), which is prepared by roasting boiled rice in hot sand or salt. It is not only light but also easily digestible. Its true magic lies hidden in its ‘Bhaja Masala’ and ‘pickle oil.’
Ingredients:
1 cup murmura (puffed rice)
2 teaspoons fine sev and Chana Jor Garam
1 teaspoon soaked black chickpeas
Onion, tomato, boiled potato (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon dry coconut (finely chopped)
Secret Tempering: 2 teaspoons mustard oil from a pickle jar
Green chilies, lemon juice, and Bhaja Masala (powdered roasted cumin, coriander, fennel seeds, and cardamom)
Method:
Take the murmura in a large bowl. Add all the vegetables, coconut, and chickpeas to it. Now, add the Bhaja Masala and lemon juice, and toss everything together thoroughly. Finally, add the pickle mustard oil and serve immediately so that the murmura does not turn soggy.
Ingredients:
1 cup murmura (puffed rice)
1 teaspoon mixed sprouts
1 teaspoon boiled green peas
Onion, tomato, and cucumber
1 teaspoon tamarind water (for tanginess)
Bhaja Masala and mustard oil
Method:
The sprouts and peas make this dish rich in fiber. Simply mix all the ingredients together, add the tamarind water, and enjoy it without any guilt.
1 tablespoon Roasted Peanuts
1 Boiled Egg (finely chopped)
Onion, Tomato, and Green Chili
Lemon juice, Bhaja Masala, and a dash of Mustard Oil
Preparation Method:
Place the puffed rice and peanuts in a bowl. Now, mix in the chopped egg and the remaining spices. This dish not only satisfies your hunger but also provides you with energy.
Watch your Sodium Intake: Salt is often used during the processing of puffed rice; therefore, exercise caution when adding extra salt to the dish.
Freshness is Key: Always mix the Jhalmuri immediately before serving. If prepared and left standing, it becomes ‘soggy’ (moist) and loses its flavor.
The Magic of Mustard Oil: For an authentic taste, use only raw mustard oil or pickle oil; refined oil simply won’t deliver the same result.
Pro Tip: To prepare Bhaja Masala at home, lightly roast whole cumin seeds, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and dried red chilies, then grind them into a powder. Its aroma is the very soul of Jhalmuri!
