Wet Bhel Puri with Mint&Honey Dates Sauce....North Indian Recipe...Chaat Recipe....All time Favourite Snack Recipe..Happy Weekend

Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Bhel Puri is our favourite chaat recipe.My husband loves chaat items and this is one of his favourite chaat.

Generally i love Mithai Mandir chaat items in Pondicherry as they serve fresh and quality chaats.

And in Chennai after marriage, my husband takes me to Gangotri which is our usual hangout place.

So i thought why not we give a try on this also...And there are two types of Bhel, dry and wet one.Dry bhel puri does not have any chutneys but the wet one has. I love only wet bhel puri.

So now we are going to Wet bhel puri recipe with some minor additions..))))))))

Method:

1.)Dry roast the following items without oil in a pan(preferably non-stick pan).You need not fry them till they turn brown.Take them out immediately when you start getting that crispiness.

Puffed Rice,Curry leaves,Turmeric,Peanuts and Sev.

2.)Now prepare the honey dates sauce.Take a vessel and add honey as said and dilute it with water and now add the dates to this and allow it to boil.

Now after the dates are boiled along with the honey, when it starts thickening completely,you can turn off and grind it into a fine paste like sauce. 

3.)Now add the chopped onions,tomatoes,green chillies,coriander leaves to the roasted puffed rice and other stuffs.Squeeze the lemon juice on top of this and add the required salt for the whole dish.

4.)Now add the tomato ketchup,honey dates sauce and mint sauce as said to the puffed rice stuff. To prepare mint sauce, freshly grind the mint leaves and allow it to boil in the water and make a thick paste out out it.Then add that paste to this.

5.)Now again add honey to this (One teaspoon)(Normal big spoon)(Ref to my measurements post).

6.)Add the boiled potatoes to this and mix them well.Just crush the potatoes by hand itself.

7.)Now mix the whole mixture and serve your yummy bhel puri!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note:

1.)You can eat the bhel puri with fried small puris to taste better.

2.)Add the sauce correctly as the bhel will turn very soggy.

3.)If you want you can add more sev and coriander leaves to top up the bhel puri to give a superb taste.

4.)Always make fresh  bhel puri and do not refrigerate the same as raw onions will give a very bad odour.

5.)When you prepare honey and dates sauce just keep watching it because in a second it will get sticky to the vessel.Make the sauce as thick as possible but not to thick. 

Bon Appetit!!!!!!!
