Bhel Puri - Indian Street Food

Bhel Puri an Indian evening snack and a sweet and tangy chaat item. It is a very popular street food mainly on beaches. Bhel Puri is made with Puffed Rice and some vegetables. In this recipe I just added onion and tomato, but you can also add raw mango pieces and grated carrot too. There are two ways in which you can make Bhel Puri, one is dry bhel puri and another wet bhel puri in which chutneys are added. 

Some people dry roast puffed rice before making bhel puri for more crispiness. You can garnish it with broken papdis, sev, ground nuts etc. to make it more crisp.
