About the Recipe
Bhelpuri is a popular street food/ chaat from Mumbai made with puffed rice, sev, boiled potatoes, onion and chutneys. It is one flavor packed dish that is sweet, tangy, salty and spicy – all at the same time. The traditional version of bhelpuri recipe does not have too many veggies. But my version is packed with colorful veggies like corn, cucumber, tomatoes, peas etc. It has the same flavors and amazing textures. The idea for this instant bhel chaat recipe with vegetables is from a Telugu cooking show. It is easy to make with no cooking involved. I always have green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney on hand to make chaat recipes. Try this delicious and easy to make homemade chaat and I am sure you will love it too.
