Yes, it is surprisingly true!

A video, which has been making rounds on the internet, where a British man is preparing and selling the tangy and spicy Indian lip-smacking snack 'Jhalmuri' is winning hearts across the country.

The man had set up a small bhel stall outside London's Oval Stadium during the India v/s Australia cricket match last Sunday. A few Indians who came to watch the match spotted him and recorded a video.

The craze is so much that even the video has managed to impress Big B (Amitabh Bachchan) who went on to share it on Twitter. He even used a hilarious pun to caption the video - "Bhery bhel done"!

'Jhalmuri' is spiced puffed rice, garnished with chopped boiled potatoes, tomatoes, cucumber, green chillies, coconut and sprinkled with some mustard oil.

British chef, Angus Denoon first tasted jhal muri, the spicier Bengali version of bhelpuri, in 2005 during a trip to Kolkata. According to a report in the Telegraph, India, Denoon spent a couple of weeks exploring the street food of Kolkata, and was charmed by the friendliness of the citizens. He fell in love with Kolkata's street food and decided to sell one the best forms of chaat sold in the city.

Over the years, his business has expanded, and now he also owns a van. The van gives him more options to serve people with, especially a variety of pickles to add to the flavours of the spicy and tangy 'jhalmuri'.

It's a bliss for every Indians living in London enjoying Indian team playing world cup with the tangy bite of 'jhalmuri'.
