Most countries serve appetizers before a meal, but in India it’s all about chaat (savoury snacks). This authentic Bhelpuri (Marathi भेळ, Gujarati: ભેળ, Nepali: चट्टपटे) is one of the better types of chaat going around – a plate of puffed rice, vegetables such as tomatoes and onions, a tangy tamarind chutney (sauce) & spicy green chilli chutney (sauce), it is vegetarian and packed with flavour.
Bhelpuri (Bhel) is often associated with Mumbai beaches, such as Girguam or Juhu. Bhelpuri is thought to have originated within the cafes and street-food stalls of Mumbai, and has spread across India where it was modified to suit local food availability. It is also said to be originated from Bhadang (भडंग), a spicy puffed-rice dish from Western Maharashtra. Dry bhel is made from bhadang.
