Recipe Notes

  • You can add finely chopped green chillies or a pinch of chilli powder if you prefer your Bhel Puri with extra heat.

  • Raw mango, finely diced, also makes a great garnish when in season, adding a sharp, tangy bite.

  • Tamarind chutney, hari chutney, sev, papdis, and the remaining ingredients are widely available in Indian grocery stores.
