Bhel the quintessential for chat or Street food in Mumbai is a very versatile recipe. What is impressive about it is that it's really simple to make but it's complex in flavours and textures. It's simply an exquisite mixture of puffed rice, sev, papdi/Puri, peanuts, with onions and potatoes and spiced up with sweet & sour chutney and spicy coriander chutney.
In today's recipe I have replaced puffed rice with crispy fried macaroni.
Yes you read that right... Macaroni is the main ingredient in this recipe. The macaroni boiled and fried becomes very crispy and crunchy and makes up for an amazing bhel ingredient.
