A street food that’s virtually synonymous with Mumbai city, bhel-puri is a nutrient rich snack with a mind boggling variety of flavors. Puffed rice, a fried savory mix, and sev (tiny, crisp, gram flour noodles) form the base. To this are added boiled potato pieces, finely chopped onions, tomatoes and green chilies A dash of date-and-tamarind chutney, coriander-and chili chutney and you’re ready to spoon it down with a couple of small puris!
Bhel puri is best eaten in a newspaper cone, on Chowpatty Beach, Mumbai, with a salty breeze blowing through your hair. If that’s not possible, try it out at home. You can’t really go wrong with bhel puri!
