Bhel for Beach


Iam looking for something that can be eat outside and is easy to prepare like chaats. I have a north indian friend who is very good at cooking so i asked her is there anything that i can make and i have plenty of mamra(puffed rice) then she told me to prepare bhel. I prepared and my husband liked it a lot. The next day i prepared again and took to the beach enjoyed it after soaked in sun and water. For good and fresh taste pack the ingredients in seperate ziplock bags and mix everything just before serving, otherwise the mamra will become soggy. It is great for outdoor eating having the aroma and crunchy taste and above it we are hungry :-)
