I am fascinated by certain names like pav bhaji, paneer, masala dosa, uttappam, irani chai(very famous in Hyderabad) with osmania biscuits, falooda,bhel puri and the list goes on.. Somehow it drools in my mouth when I heard these names. Some I have them regularly and some very rarely.
Bhel puri is the most common street food in India. It is a mixture of veggies, spices and chutneys with lot of puffed rice. It has to be consumed immediately. Mostly it is served in cities with beaches like Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkatta and Vizag in India. Authentic bhel puri is served in Mumbai.
A very simple and tasty street food. But we need to prepare well in advance. We have to have chutneys like green chutney, sweet chutney. for chat we need to prepare sev and papdi. We can get them from store also. I make papdi and buy sev from the store, so that it will become easy for me to make bhelpuri. Chutneys anyhow will be there in the refrigerator.
I have links to green chutney and papdi, so I am giving them here. But sweet chutney notes will be given in the text itself.
