My mom usually makes this quick bhel at home whenever we long for something spicy and chatpata in the evenings. I had mentioned in an earlier post that we use the Masalya Pitto/Phova Masala for a variety of things. It finds its use in this bhel also. Try it once with this powder and you will know what I'm talking about. With this powder on hand, all you need is some Puffed rice (Chirmuro) and some readily available ingredients at home and you get to enjoy a fresh and crispy bhel.
Ingredients
Puffed Rice (Chirmuro) - 3 cups
Onion, medium - 1/2, finely chopped
Tomato, medium - 1, chopped
Masalya pitto - 1-2 tsp ( depending on how spicy you like it )
Grated fresh coconut - 1/4 cup
Cilantro - a little, finely chopped
Salt - to taste
Sugar - 1/2 - 1 tsp
Shev - for topping (optional)
Method
- Mix all the ingredients together except the puffed rice.
- Just before serving, add the puffed rice and mix well and serve. Sprinkle some fine Shev on it for extra taste.
Can't get any simpler than this hanh ??
