DAY 34: My "Indian kitchen"- BHEL PURI

BHEL PURI is a common Indian street food (chaat) whose main ingredient is BHEL MIX, made of puffed rice, lentils, gram four crackers and chickpea vermicelli.

This bag came from BOMBAY BAZAAR, 3140 S. Parker Rd.

Here's a version I made last night that was fantastic!  If you do try it, timing is everything.  Like cold cereal, if you don't eat it right after mixing it together, the BHEL turns soggy.  

You don't want soggy BHEL.

The recipe follows--

5 cups bhel mix

1/3 cup chopped boiled potatoes

1/3 cup diced tomatoes

3 tbs. minced jalapenos

8 tbs. tamarind date chutney

4 tbs. cilantro chutney

2 tbs. chopped cilantro

1 tsp. chaat masala 

juice of 1/2 lemon

Just mix it all together and eat it right away!
