A well written piece .Anyone who has a connection with Kolkata has to be well connected with the the ubiquitous jhalmudi static or mobile stalls .Couple of decades back they used to mix "gota" moshla which used to be a mix of several spices .Over the years the taste of jhalmudi has changed .Lots of experiments with this simple common man's street food .

Yes, those were the special days of special spices. It's remarkable that jhalmuri still survives as a regular snack in Bengali households despite the change in preference of tastes.
