Jhal muri is a pure Bengali fast food and it has wowed Londoners as well

Jhal muri is a heady concoction of fluffed rice (muri) mixed with chopped onions, green chilies, fried groundnuts and a whole of spices and topped up with raw mustard oil to give the tangy taste - a slice of coconut is added while serving. This is a pure Bengali fast food and it has now won over Londoners, thanks to a chef who prepares and sells it just like his counterparts do in Bengal.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 5 October 2016.

This chef has been preparing and selling the quintessential Kolkatan street food 'jhal muri' for a while now. His food van is named 'Everybody love love jhal muri' and people throng for a spicy cone of this Indian street food every day in various parts of London. It all began in a small way as a small cart and it has now transformed into a beautiful food van. The van looks every bit Indian as well with eye-popping vibrant colors, and flowers, and it will certainly remind one of home.
Encouraged by the response he has received, he has incorporated a few other Indian delights into his menu like Phuchkas, Ghugni, Lassi, Bengali Chai and Channa Masala.
