Bhel Puri / Masala Puffed Rice/ Masala Chirmuri

Indian Bhel is one of the popular Indian chaats loved my almost everyone. Have this spicy, tangy, masaledar puffed rice with hot tea at evenings especially during rainy season. Wow! Perfect snack with family during the lazy rainy weekends. Its been ages when I actually used to enjoy this at street corners in the evenings. Wow! what an experience. 

Puffed Rice is also called Chirmuri or Mandakki in Kannada.
