Bhel puri is perfect snack food! So many flavours and textures.
Bhel puri is a much loved snack food all over India. It’s becoming popular in the west now too.
Bhel puri just plain gets it. I’ve had it a lot here in the UK at restaurants but really fell for the stuff on a recent trip to Mumbai.
There, it’s served as street food and it’s so good. This recipe tastes just like what I got there. You really can’t go wrong with this one.
Use my ingredient suggestions but feel free to add whatever you want.
The base ingredient for bhel puri is called Kurmure and it’s available at most Asian grocers. It’s actually just puffed rice and very similar to Rice Krispies.
In fact, I’ve used a generic and unsweetened brand of Rice Krispie style cereal and it worked fantastically well.
You might think that the bhel puri would become soggy with all that delicious sauce that gets poured into it. It does eventually but this is street food, meant to be eaten fast and on the go.
Just get stuck in and I’m sure you will love this bhel puri recipe.
Add the puffed rice to a large mixing bowl.
Top with the rest of the ingredients.
Mix it all up.
