I am taking you all to a beach in Mumbai with today’s post! Bhel Puri is a savoury snack and a type of chaat made with puffed rice, sev, chutneys and other ingredients. It is thought to have originated within the street food stalls of Mumbai’s beaches and the recipe has spread to most parts of India where it has been modified to suit local food availability. Bhel Puri has an incredible balance of sweet, salty, tart and spicy flavours. It also has different textures. This snack is usually served in a paper folded in the form of a cone and is consumed using a papdi! I personally love all chaats and I have already shared with you the recipes for Papri Chaat and Aloo Tikki Chaat and Bhel Puri is my husband’s favourite! It is an absolute must try if you like Indian food.
