Bhel is a popular Indian street food snack, originating from Maharashtra, celebrated for its tangy, sweet, and savory flavors. Typically made from puffed rice, roasted peanuts, sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles), diced onions, tomatoes, boiled potatoes, and fresh coriander, it’s tossed with tamarind chutney and mint chutney for a burst of spice and zest. Often served as a quick, light snack, bhel is low in fat and a good source of fiber from puffed rice and vegetables. The addition of peanuts provides healthy fats and protein. However, it can be high in sodium due to chutneys and spices, and the crispy sev adds refined carbs that may not align with stricter nutrition plans. Homemade variations with controlled seasoning and fresh ingredients can make bhel a healthier choice while retaining its iconic flavor. Perfectly balanced, it offers a harmony of textures and tastes that define Indian cuisine.
