BHEL PURI
Where to Eat It: Mumbai
India’s street snacks, collectively known aschaat, vary greatly from region to region, butbhel puri can be found in most parts of the country. Still, Mumbai is the best place to find the real deal: a combination of puffed rice, fried vermicelli-like noodles called sev, vegetables, spices, and chutneys. The result is an exciting balance of textures and sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy flavors. The dish is often associated with Mumbai’s beaches, but it can found at street stalls throughout the city.
