Bhel Puri

Bhel Puri is a popular Indian street food and type of chaat (savory snack) that combines a myriad of flavors—sweet, spicy, tangy, and salty—and contrasting textures (crunchy, crispy, and soft) in one dish. It is primarily made from puffed rice and is widely associated with Mumbai's beaches and streets. 

• Main Ingredients: The base is puffed rice (murmura or kurmura), mixed with finely chopped fresh vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and boiled potatoes.
• Chutneys: The dish gets its signature flavor profile from a combination of wet chutneys:
  • Sweet Tamarind Chutney (meethi chutney) for sweetness and tanginess.
  • Spicy Green Chutney (cilantro and mint based) for heat and freshness.
  • Sometimes a spicy red garlic chutney is also added for an extra kick.
