Tips:

  1. Depending on the freshness of your pre-packaged Bhel Mix, you may
    want to lightly roast the mix in a skillet to make it crispy.
  2. The key to adding the right amount of chutneys is that the Bhel
    Puri should be lightly coated but not dripping in chutney.
  3. If the pre-packaged Bhel Mix is not pre-spiced, you may want to
    add additional salt, red chili powder or chaat masala.
