Ingredients

• 2 cups puffed rice
• 0.5 cup sev (chickpea noodles)
• 1 unit small boiled potato, diced
• 1 unit small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 unit tomato, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup boiled chickpeas
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
• 0.25 cup roasted peanuts
• 1 unit green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the fresh ingredients. Rinse and finely chop the onion, tomato, coriander, and mint leaves. Dice the boiled potato and set aside. Drain and rinse the boiled chickpeas if they are canned.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the puffed rice and sev. These are the base of the bhelpuri that add crunch and texture.

Step 3

Add the diced potato, chopped onion, tomato, chickpeas, roasted peanuts, and fresh coriander and mint leaves to the puffed rice mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and tamarind paste until well combined. This will be your dressing, giving the bhelpuri its tangy flavor.

Step 5

Pour the tamarind-lemon dressing over the mixed ingredients in the bowl.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black salt. Adjust spices to taste, considering the heat of the green chili you add next.

Step 7

Add the finely chopped green chili, mixing everything thoroughly to ensure the spices and dressing are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. More lemon juice or tamarind paste can be added for extra zing.

Step 9

Serve the sugar-free bhelpuri immediately for maximum freshness and crunch. It should be enjoyed right after mixing to prevent the puffed rice from getting soggy.
