Puffed rice tossed with chopped onion, tomato, coriander, sev, tamarind chutney and green chutney. Mumbai's signature beach chaat. Editor's TableJourney pick.

Bhel puri originated as a Marwari snack and crossed over to Mumbai street-food culture in the early 1900s. Chowpatty Beach and Juhu Beach became the canonical sunset venues; carts assemble each portion to order with their own house chutneys, varying the tamarind-date sweet, the mint-coriander green and the level of chilli to taste. Most Mumbai households still keep a packet of bhel ingredients ready for monsoon evenings.
