Recipe of a healthy Bhel Puri

Many of us are fond of Chaat items. They are a very good snacks. It also comes with high calories, depending upon the ingredients you use. As a general rule, most food items that are tasty are high in calories. I recently learnt how to make a very tasty and nutritious Bhel Puri. I am sure you will feel the taste and sense how nutritious it is as you read through

What all you need?
1. Small portion of Cauliflower
2. One big carrot
3. One big onion
4. One big Cucumber
5. Small portion of Pine apple
6. Salt, Chilly powder and sugar cyrup for taste
7. 4 to 5 handfulls of puffed rice
8. One lemon
9. Small tomato

How to make it?
Grate Cauliflower, Carrot and Pineapple. Cut Cucumber, tomato and onion into very small pieces. Mix generous amounts of all the vegetables in a big vessel. Mix well and then add salt, chilly powder as required and mix again. Then add lemon juice and sugar or dates cyrup, mix again. Then add 4 to 5 handfuls of puffed rice and mix the contents well. The veggies forms 75% of the dish and the puffed rice should form 25% of the dish. Serve in a plate, top with a handful of peanuts. Bhel puri is ready. Preparation time is 20 mins and it can serve 3 to 4 people. A healthy snack in the evening and a very good replacement for fat filled Bhajis and Bondas
