Mumbai Bhel Puri

One doesn’t have to stick to traditional ingredients but jazz it up with your own twist. I also add sprouted moong beans in Bhel for more nutrition.
When mango is in season I love to throw some finely chopped semi ripe mango and also pomegranate taste amazing in bhel. I always have homemade chutneys in my freezer anytime I crave for street food. I also freeze boiled chickpea (chana), sprouted moong, so easy to assemble chaats anytime I feel like spicy food.
