Like every State in India, Karnataka has its own favourite evening snack as part of Indian street food, be it the Mirchi Mandakki from North Karnataka or the Churumuri or Jhalmuri from South Karnataka. This tasty mix of spicy puffed rice, grated carrots and other seasonings has since seen many variations but the base remains the same - puri or puffed rice. It is said that the dish actually has its origins in Bengal and was originally called Jhal muri, an assortment of spices, vegetables and chanachur or bhujia. The uniqueness of this dish is that it has been modified to suit the city it thrives in. So it’s Jhalmuri in Bengal and Bangladesh, Bhel puri in Maharashtra, Masala Pori in Tamil Nadu, Mandakki or girmit in North Karnataka and Churumuri in Mysuru and Bengaluru. While Bhel puri and Masala Pori have a little of wet ingredients like tamarind syrup or boiled peanuts, Churumuri is completely a dry mixture. It’s a delightful, crunchy salad with finely grated carrots, a little spice mixture, a handful of Congress kadlekai (spiced-shelled peanuts), chopped onions, tomatoes and a dash of lime and coriander. All this cosily packed in a conical paper cup. Mysore Dasara Churmuri is never relished on a plate! There are approximately around 350 Churumuri sellers in Mysuru including famous one at Ballal circle but a few of them have been there since more than four decades and still going strong.
