You can take the Medinipuria out of Medinipur, but you can’t remove his craving for muri. It’s in our DNA. During the lockdown, I was prepared for three weeks, but after that stocks ran low. It was a crisis situation. (THREAD) https://twitter.com/bhalomanush/status/1156179470509850624

We get all of our muri from Bangladesh. It is excellent. Light, white, and puffy. Not adulterated with sand or pebbles to increase the weight like loose muri we used to get at home. India also exports muri, but it’s dense and reddish.

I can get you the best muri. I have a muri guy. He is Ripon Bhai.

So I called up Ripon Bhai and to my horror I found out that his store didn’t have muri right now. The pandemic has impacted the muri supply chain.

So ultimately, we tracked down muri in Houston and ordered it online. Today it arrived by US Postal Service First-Class like a Christmas, Eid, or Durga Pujo geepht.

My precious! Aar ki chai ei jeebone?
