Muri Masala Recipe Kolkata Style Used in Jhal Muri

Kolkata Muri Masala or Moodi Masala is a special spice mix that is used in making Jhaal Muri, an delicious crunchy street food snack, flavored with mustard oil. The street vendors never tell you the actual recipe, they will just sell you the powder, but over the years, I tasted the powder each time and finally dissected the recipe and got it 99% close to the original one. Course : Snack Ingridients : 1/4 cup Cumin seeds (Jeera) 1/4 cup Coriander (Dhania) Seeds 1/8 cup Black Salt (Kala Namak) 1/8 cup White pepper powder 1/8 cup Amchur (Dry Mango Powder) 1/8 cup Red Chilli powder 10 Bay leaves (tej patta) Instructions To begin making the Kolkata Muri Malasal/ Moodi Masala Recipe, roast the cumin and coriander seeds until browned well.
