As cucumber and tomatoes shed water if you prepare it well ahead Jahlmuri may become soggy. So make sure you mix these just before serving.
You can add boiled tomatoes and sev also.
Adjust the masala according to your taste.
If you want it to be less spicy skip the green chilly or reduce the red chilly powder.
Make sure the murmura is crisp and crunchy
