About Bhel Puri
Bhel puri is a light, crunchy chaat of puffed rice tossed with chopped onion, tomato, boiled potato, sev and tangy chutneys. It is the snack people buy on Mumbai's Chowpatty and Juhu beaches.
Regional versions
Mumbai bhel is wet with sweet tamarind and green chutney. Kolkata jhal muri is a drier cousin made with mustard oil, and Bangalore churumuri is mixed with lemon and grated carrot.
What to order with it
Eat it quickly before the puffed rice goes soft. It pairs well with sev puri or a glass of nimbu pani, sweet lime soda.

How this list is made
We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.
