A popular savory street snack recipe made with puffed rice, finely chopped veggies, and chaat chutneys.

Bhel Puri recipe | Bhel Poori | Bhel Puri Chaat | Bhel Recipe with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Indian cuisine is known for its lip-smacking chaat recipes, typically served by street vendors. Most of them are generally gravy or sauce-based snacks filled with veggies, spices, and chaat chutneys. But this recipe is the dry version known as the Bhel puri recipe or as Bhel recipe made with puffed rice.

I have shared quite a few Bhel recipes including the Jhalmuri or Churumuri recipe, but the Bhel puri recipe is known for its flavor and taste. The uniqueness of the Bhel puri chaat recipe lies in the chutney or sauce used in this recipe. Specifically, the green chutney and the imli chutney add a new flavor to this recipe. Adding these chutneys not only adds flavor but also adds a nice texture to the recipe. In other words, it makes the recipe semi-dry or semi-liquid as compared to other murmura recipes which are dry. However because it is semi-liquid, the recipe has to be served immediately once it is prepared. Hence the Bhel recipe is always prepared on demand by street vendors and is not prepared and stored in advance.

Furthermore, I would like to add some tips, suggestions, and variations for a perfect Bhel puri recipe. firstly, I would heavily recommend using crisp and fresh Murmura or any of the recipes. if you are using not fresh Bhel, you can dry roast in a low medium flame for about 5 mins to make a crisp Murmura. secondly, I have shared with you a medium spice Bhel puri recipe which I have controlled by green chutney and red chilli powder. you can lower or increase the spice level by increasing or decreasing either one of them. lastly, adding boiled aloo or potato is optional and you can skip it or replace it with other ingredients like boiled peas, chickpeas, and even a combination of these.

Finally, I request you to check my other Indian Chaat Recipe Collection with this post of the Bhel Puri recipe. It includes recipes like pani puri, dahi puri, sev puri, aloo chaat, katori chaat, basket chaat, and pav bhaji recipe.
