    BHELPURI : A TONGUE TICKLING SNACK

    Jagriti ShuklaBy Jagriti ShuklaMarch 20, 20234 Mins Read

    Bhelpuri is a snack with almost iconic status in the western region of India, bhel puri (or bhelpuri) is a low-fat, nutritious, and delicious food. It is a chaat, which is a spicy food that is typically sold via street carts throughout the region. It is a puffed rice snack that can be eaten by the spoonful or scooped onto a flatbread or chip. It is served in paper cones which is an exciting and different method of serving.

     The mix includes crispy little curly fritters that look almost like crushed up pieces of raw ramen noodles, boiled and peeled potatoes, puffed rice, brown crumbly things, crushed up parts of a deep-fried chip like discs, diced red onions, chilies, and coriander. It is tossed into a cone-shaped piece of scrap paper. Then the vendor proceeds to add a few spoons of chili sauce and tamarind sauce over the crunchy items. Then he mixes the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients by giving the cone a little toss with a swift stir of the spoon in repeated motions until the sauce evenly coats the entire snack.

    Different chutneys impart a sweet, tangy, or spicy flavor. There are two popular chutneys used: a dark brown sweet one made mainly from dates and tamarind (saunth chutney) also a green spicy chutney made from coriander, mint leaves, and green chilies. Bhelpuri offers everything – it is a Gujarati snack made popular in Mumbai by migrants to the city- it’s crispy, crunchy, soft, sweet, savory, spicy and sharp. You mix it all and eat it up immediately whilst it is still crunchy. 

    Even though the recipe originated in Bombay, it has spread its wings across the Indian Subcontinent, and every place has its Bhel recipe. Bhelpuri is a versatile recipe, and you can adjust the ingredients as per your preference. You can skip papdis and add tortilla chips instead and also replace potatoes with other veggies. Spicy and tangy bhel puri along with green chilies, add the green chutney, and spice up the bhel with amchur powder, chaat masala, jal jeera masala, and lemon juice. You can also top it with pomegranate seeds and cottage cheese.
