Ingredients:

  • 4 cups puffed rice
  • 1 cup nylon sev (crispy noodles)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add puffed rice, nylon sev, chopped onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumber, raw mango (if using), and coriander leaves. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
  2. Add tamarind chutney and green chutney to the bowl. Toss the mixture to coat all the ingredients with the chutneys.

  6. Garnish the Bhel Puri with additional nylon sev and chopped coriander leaves.

Bhel Puri is best enjoyed right after preparation as the puffed rice tends to lose its crispness over time. It is a delightful and refreshing snack that offers a burst of flavors and textures. Feel free to customize the ingredients and spice levels according to your preference. Enjoy the tangy and savory Bhel Puri!
