2. Boil the potato till it's just cooked. Cut it into cubes. Set them aside.
3. Dry roast peanuts. Remove their skin. Set these aside.
4. Chop the following: Tomatoes, Onions, Green chilies, and Coriander leaves.
5. To a mixing bowl, add the following: Tomatoes, Cucumber, Onions, Potatoes, Coriander leaves, and Green chilies.
6. Now, add the following: Salt, Alco Red chili powder, Jeera powder, and Chaat masala.
7. Squeeze the lemon. Stir the mix well.
8. Add peanuts and puffed rice.
9. Toss the entire mix.
10. You can add more puffed rice if the mixture is moist.
11. Add chanachur, or sev.
12. That's all! Serve jhal muri immediately.
