Homemade Bhel Puri (Ready in 20 minutes)
Ingredients
- 1 cup murmura plain puffed rice
- ½ cup roasted chana roasted chickpeas
- ½ cup roasted peanuts I use Deep Spicy roasted peanuts
- ⅓ cup plain boondi masala boondi works well too
- 10-12 papri broken into small pieces, divided
- ⅓ cup bhujia sev or as needed
- 1 medium (¾ cup) boiled potato small diced
- 2 persian cucumbers small diced
- 1 small (~½ cup) red onion small diced
- 1 medium tomato ripe but firm, small diced
- 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
- 2-3 green chillies (hot! the more the merrier, however adjust to your taste)
- ⅓ cup pomegranate arils
- 1.5 teaspoon chaat masala powder
- ¾ teaspoon red chilli powder hot, adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon kala namak indian black salt
- ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon salt add with caution since many of the dry ingredients are already salted
- 2 tablespoon tamarind chutney
- 1.5 tablespoon green chutney it is hot, so adjust quantity to your taste
- ½ tablespoon garlic chutney if desired, I don't add
Steps
- In a large bowl, add the murmura, roasted chana, peanuts, and boondi.
- Next, add the potatoes and onions over the dry ingredients. Then add the tomato, cucumber and green chillies.
- Add the chutneys, salt, spices, chopped cilantro and squeeze lemon juice. I also include 1-2 tablespoon sev and pomegranate arils while mixing. Crush 4-5 papri in the mix and rest will go on side when serving.
- Toss everything very well so that all ingredients are coated in spices and chutneys. Taste and adjust spices, salt or chutneys. For perfect seasoning, your murmura should not look white.
- Immediately divide the bhel puri into serving bowls or plate. Top with handful of sev and pomegranate arils. Place extra papdis on side for scooping. Serve immediately!
