Bhel puri is possibly one of the most popular street foods across India. Made with a delightful blend of puffed rice, sev, chopped vegetables, tangy tamarind chutney, and zesty spices, bhel puri offers a burst of flavours to our palate. Whether enjoyed as a street food snack, a party appetiser, or a quick bite during a leisurely stroll, bhel puri never fails to satisfy a desi soul. What we enjoy the most are the variations available in different parts of the country, with each region adding its own twist to the beloved snack. Well, we recently found a video that might disappoint a true bhel puri lover! A video, shared by ‘foodie_incarnate’ on Instagram, showcased the process of making the main ingredient, murmura (or puffed rice). Surprisingly, it depicted individuals using their feet to mix the ingredients. You read that right.
