Jhalmuri is a healthy snack originated and popular in the Bengal region of India – and in recent years, Londoners are fancying it as well.
When a British chef Angus Denoon came across it in India, he fell in love with it at the first bite!

The most prominent film markets, where most of the action takes place are Cannes de Marche, European Film Market, American Film Market and recent festivals-turned-markets, Sundance, Toronto, Busan & Hong Kong.
