- For Gym Lovers: Protein-Rich Jhalmuri
A fun way to fulfill your protein requirements during snack time. Ingredients:
1 cup Puffed Rice (Murmura)
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!
