Instructions

6 steps

1
Crisp the Puffed Rice: If the puffed rice feels slightly soft, dry roast it in a wide pan over low heat for 2 minutes until it becomes perfectly crisp. Let it cool.

2
Prep the Veggies: Boil, peel, and dice the potato into tiny cubes. Finely chop the onions and tomatoes. Make sure to remove the wet seeds from the tomatoes to prevent the bhel from getting soggy.
3
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a very large mixing bowl, combine the crisped puffed rice, diced potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and 1/2 cup of the sev. Toss them together lightly.
4
Spice it Up: Sprinkle 1 tsp chaat masala, 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder, and a pinch of black salt over the dry mix.
5
Add the Chutneys: Just before serving (this is crucial to maintain crunch), drizzle the sweet-and-sour tamarind chutney and the spicy green mint chutney over the mixture.
6
Toss and Serve: Use two large spoons to vigorously toss everything together so the chutneys coat the puffed rice. Immediately transfer to serving bowls, top with the remaining sev, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Consume instantly.
