Quick snacks and fast food is a student's lifeline. Be it Mumbai or Bangalore or Ahmedabad, Bhel Puri is one of the favourite street food. Atleast it was (read is) mine.Quick to make at home or eaten on the roadside, I love it anyday, anytime 🙂 Gimme puffed rice (Murmura / Kadalepuri), an onion and some chutney, and my low-end version of BhelPuri is ready 🙂 (I still make this version the days I need a quick oil-free snack fix). I think making and eating Chaats is an addiction. A few hours (read next day) after I made Pani Puri, I knew I had to venture upon posting this all-time favourite, and here it is 🙂

My earliest memories of restaurant made Bhel Puri was at Sukh Sagar in Jayangar 4th block @ Bangalore (before it donned its modern avatar). It was a monthly ritual to visit this restaurant and gorge on Special Bhel (which came with fresh coconut shavings and raw mango slivers), Ragda Patties& Pav Bhaji, rounding it all with Cream Custard

Of course, the additions to Bhel Puri are endless - boiled potato, shredded carrots, diced cucumber, slivered mangoes, sev (ompudi), chaat masala..... Slurp !! All of this and more came together for today's Quick Snack for Kids under BM # 14 for Chatpata Bhel Puri .. Make this once, and it will leave you craving for more ! What's more, its an easy and healthy way to add up veggies to kids' food while you dont need to worry about roadside food 🙂
