Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine puffed rice, sev, and crushed papdis. Toss lightly to mix.
- 2 Add chopped onions, tomatoes, boiled potatoes, coriander, and green chilli.
- 3 Add both chutneys (green and tamarind), chaat masala, red chilli powder, salt, and lemon juice.
- 4 Mix everything quickly and lightly using a spoon or hands so that puffed rice remains crisp.
- 5 Taste and adjust chutneys or salt as needed — Bhelpuri should be tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet.
- 6 Serve immediately in paper cones or bowls, topped with extra sev and coriander.
- 7 Optional: Garnish with chopped raw mango, pomegranate seeds, or a drizzle of extra chutney for flavour.
Storage Tips
- 1 Always mix Bhelpuri just before serving; it becomes soggy quickly once chutneys are added.
- 2 Store puffed rice and sev separately in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- 3 Chutneys can be refrigerated up to 4–5 days. Assemble fresh each time.
Pro Tips for Perfect Bhelpuri
- 1 Use fresh, crisp puffed rice — lightly dry roast it for 2 minutes before mixing if it feels soft.
- 2 Adjust chutneys to your taste — more tamarind for sweetness, more green chutney for spice.
- 3 Add chopped raw mango during summer for authentic street-style flavour.
- 4 Serve in disposable paper cones or leaf bowls for the real chaat shop experience.
- 5 For a healthier version, replace sev with roasted chana dal or peanuts.
