Updated September 3, 2012: Made this today for an afternoon snack and added cucumber and green chilis as recommended by my sister in law. I also finally got to take a picture to post!<\/p>\n

I was hungry this afternoon and it was too early for dinner, so Tejas taught me how to make jhal moodi. It’s a street food from Kolkata and uses this masala which is so good! I can’t explain it, it’s peppery and had this rich almost smokey taste, but I can’t figure out what it is. We ate it so fast that I forgot to take a picture! I’m so sad! I’ll have to take one next time.<\/p>\n

3 cups puffed rice
\n1 medium potato diced, cooked in salt water and cooled
\n1\/2 onion diced
\n3\/4 cup chopped cucumber
\n1\/3 cup cilantro chopped
\n1-2 green chilis thinly sliced
\n2 handfuls roasted peanuts
\n1 tablespoon jhal moodi masala
\n1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon mustard oil
\nJuice from 1\/2 \u00a0of a lime
\nSalt<\/p>\n

  1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and eat up!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
