A snack that tastes even more delicious when enjoyed in open air under the vast expanse of blue sky, while the waves lash through your feet and the crisp wind traces your skin, Bhelpuri is a savory snack originating from India and is also enjoyed as a chaat. A combination of puffed rice, some edible raw vegetables, tamarind sauce, herbs, and spice mix, Bhelpuri is a crunchy snack with an array of different flavors and with a tangy twist of lemon. Often associated as a ‘beach snack’ and particularly famous in the beaches of Mumbai, there is a theory associated with the origin of Bhelpuri to have been invented at a restaurant called Vithal near Victoria Terminus.
