Mouthwatering Chat - Bhel Puri

Have you ever wondered, what is the most common food across the streets of North India? If you guessed “chaat” then you had a perfect guess. But I am sitting in south India and enjoying best coffee along with a special chat “Bhel puri”. As my friends sipped their favorite best tea along with “bhel”. we remembered our time spent in Delhi.  Relishing old memories we agreed that nothing can satisfy the remorseful pleasures of an Indian food better than some piquant, tasty chaat? You do not agree. Taste it and then let us debate about it.

Well for now, I think you do not need to go to any restaurant for tasting  “bhel”. It is easy to make it at home. Order the coffee and tea online or through a nearby store and let’s start preparing the delicious “bhel puri”.
