Bhelpuri
Sevpuri, dahi bhelpuri, sev papdi chaat

Bhelpuri is a savoury snack originally from

puffed rice, vegetables and a tangy tamarind sauce, and has a crunchy texture.[1][2]

Origin

Bhel is often identified as a 'beach snack', strongly associated with the beaches of

North Indian chaat. Gujarati housewives began making it and invented several varieties like the pakodi puri, and as it grew in popularity, many communities made their own regional variations.[4]

Variations

The Mumbai recipe has spread to most parts of India, where it has been modified to suit local food availability. Dry bhel is made from bhadang, a spicy namkeen (snack) from Western Maharashtra, and is consumed after garnishing with onions, coriander and lemon juice.[5] The Bengali variant of bhelpuri is called jhalmuri (meaning "spicy puffed rice") and bhelpuri refers to panipuri instead in that ethnicity.[6] A local Karnataka variant of bhelpuri is known as churumuri or churmuri.[7] The recipe exists in many parts of India.

Commonly used ingredients

Bhelpuri garnished with sev and cilantro.

Bhelpuri is made from puffed rice and

chillis added to the base. In northern India, recipes also include boiled potatoes cut into small pieces.[9]
