- medium raw red onion,
- ripe tomato,
- boiled potato, 30g peanuts,

- tbsp special chili paste,
- tsp Chaat Masala, 1/
- lemon, 50g Sev (ultra-thin fried noodles), cilantro to taste.
- Toss a massive handful of Murmura into a giant stainless bowl acting as the stall's foundation. Swiftly add a mountain of finely diced raw red onions, ripe tomatoes, fluffy boiled potatoes, savory peanuts, and crushed Papri.
- Here comes the vendor's true mastery. Splash
- tbsp each of sweet-sour rich tamarind chutney, refreshing green chili mint chutney, and burning chili paste, then sprinkle secret Chaat Masala like snow.
- The moment a halved raw lemon is squeezed powerfully, vigorously mix the whole thing using a special metal spoon with a blindingly fast 'Shaka-shaka!' wrist snap. Just before the puffs get soggy absorbing the sauce, serve it in a newspaper cone maintaining exquisite crispiness, scattering massive Sev and fresh cilantro on top, handing it to the customer pierced with a Papri acting as a spoon. A lively dish tasting the very heat of Mumbai beaches where spice aromas and lemon acidity mingle.

Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Bhel' means to mix. Relatively healthy as no oil is used, but the street version has an unusually strong sulfur odor and acidity, making regular salads feel lacking.
