Mumma’s Bhelpuri
Growing up I always wanted to have chaat for some reason I had this fascination with how it is made and how it tastes. I always wanted to have it, but the places where it was available were deemed unhealthy by my mom. She started making this when I was a kid and did I love it and how! Whenever it was raining, or we had had a lot to eat for lunch I used to ask her to make it, it is so tasty.

Friendly suggestion, do not ruin it by adding carrots, sprouts, peanuts, cucumber, it spoils the taste and texture!
