BHEL PURI/ POORI WITH PAPDI RECIPE


bhel-puri-recipe-1
    

     I had bhel puri in Kailash Parbhat once and totally loved it. Since we went for lunch buffet, the chaat items were unlimited. And we all enjoyed the delicious chaat very well.  Since I made Sev for Diwali, and I had some puffed rice that I bought for Saraswathi pooja, I thought of making bhel puri/Poori at home. I thought first I will make the chutneys first today and tomorrow the chaat, but then could not control my craving for chaat and I was super bored today.
      I made chutneys first, then made papdi. If we have these things ready, then all we have to do is some shaking business for mixing all the ingredients to make bhel puri. So if you want the chutney recipe, you can click on the ingredients list that will take you to the respective recipes. I reffered Sailus food for this and also Jeyashri to get an idea about the ingredients. The ingredients can be added according to your taste bud.  So feel free to experiment with the ingredients. 
     Firstly lets see the papdi recipe.  This can be used in all varieties of chaat recipes…

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Immaculate Divya Bruno Sathyan, Sorry for the late reply, I think you should have added more water. Next time try to make a stiff dough, also cook in medium flame till it turns golden brown to turn crisp. Try pricking in more areas. Its very easy to get. Do try and see again

Immaculate Divya Bruno Sathyan said...

thanks raks for getting back ...will try next time and let u know and I was pretty sure I added a wee bit more than required ...but as I said the taste was gr8 ...love u and my wishes n prayers for ur culinary pursuits...

San said...
