The video begins with the chef adding puffed rice, sev, and boondi to a large bowl. He then proceeds to crush some puris and adds them to the mix. Next, he adds chopped onions, tomatoes, boiled potatoes, cilantro, and green chilies. The chef then heats a pan, roasts some peanuts, and incorporates them into the bhel puri mix. Following that, he sprinkles chaat masala and Kashmiri chilli, giving it all a thorough dry mix. Subsequently, Eitan adds mint and tamarind chutneys, mixing it all again. He also suggests that the mixture should be "wet but not soggy." After preparing the dish, he piles it high on a plate and indulges in the flavourful creation. The text attached to the video reads, "I've been dreaming of the bhel puri I ate in Mumbai on my last trip, so I had to give it a try myself." Take a look:
