- 1 potato, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 2 tbsp green mango, diced
- 3 tbsp tamarind-date chutney
- 2 tbsp green chutney
- 1 tsp chaat masala
- 1 lime
- 2 tbsp peanuts
- to taste cilantro

Toss quickly
In a large bowl, combine the puffed rice, potato, onion, tomato, mango and peanuts. Add both chutneys, the chaat masala and lime juice, then toss quickly with your hands or two spoons until evenly coated.

The Story Behind the Dish
Bhel puri is inseparable from Mumbai's seafront — the evening crowds at Chowpatty and Juhu beaches have been buying it from hand-carts for generations.
It's thought to have been popularised by Gujarati and North Indian vendors in the city, who combined puffed rice from older snack mixes with the chutneys of chaat.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Light, crunchy and bursting with sweet, sour and spicy flavour, bhel is the snack of evening strolls and monsoon walks by the sea.
💡 Fun Fact
Mumbai vendors mix bhel by hand in a huge steel bowl and serve it with a flat papdi to use as a spoon.
