BHEL PURI

Bhel or Bhel puri is a popular savoury snack and street food across India. This delicious Chaat is prepared from puffed rice, besan sev, puri, various chutneys, onions, potatoes etc. This crunchy snack is also known as bombay bhel, chowpaty bhel or beach snack as it is majorly available at various beaches of Mumbai.
Bhel is available and can be prepared by various processes as per place and choice. Bombay bhel or bhel available at beaches are mostly Sukha bhel when we prepared at home we add boiled potatoes and chick peas( desi chana ) also. This bhel is not dry or sukha. In Kolkata, it’s known as Jhal muri and in Karnataka it’s known as Churumuri. Basic ingredients are same but process and taste are different, still all types of bhel are delectable and similarly popular at their place.
