• Bhel Puri: This is a type of chaat, a savory snack that’s crunchy, tangy, and spicy. It typically includes puffed rice (kurmura), sev (crunchy noodle-like snacks), chopped vegetables (like tomatoes, onions, and potatoes), and a mix of tamarind chutney and spicy green chutney. It’s often garnished with coriander and sometimes pomegranate seeds.

• Bhalla Puri: This is similar but includes bhallas (deep-fried lentil dumplings) that are soaked in water to soften and then mixed with the same ingredients as bhel puri.

Both are great for a quick, flavorful bite and are perfect for satisfying a craving for something zesty and crunchy. Do you have a favorite way to enjoy these snacks?
