Bhel is a spicy and tangy snack, perfect for summer afternoons. In this recipe, I have prepared a market-style bhel mix namkeen, which is easy to make and has a good shelf life. I have also made a special green chutney for the bhel. With the bhel mix, freshly chopped veggies, and chutney, this delicious snack comes together in just 2 minutes. It has a spicy, sour, and slightly sweet taste that is loved by people of all age groups. This instant bhel, made with bhel puri mix namkeen, is easy to prepare using ingredients readily available in your kitchen. Do give it a try!
Tips for Making Delicious Bhel Puri with Bhel Mix Namkeen:
- Flavorful Bhel Mix: I prepared a special masala mix to give the bhel mix a market-style taste. The bhel mix is made using puffed rice, peanuts, roasted chana dal, chavanu, papdi, sev, and basic spices. You can store it in an airtight container for months.
- Perfect Green Chutney: Green chutney is easy to prepare, and its consistency should be medium-thick so that it gets absorbed well into the bhel mix. I also made a sugar-water mixture to balance the flavors, eliminating the need for sweet chutney.
- Serve Immediately: Once the bhel puri is mixed, it should be served immediately to maintain its crispiness and fresh flavors.
