    Cornflakes Bhel | Healthy Chaats Recipe

    Cornflakes Bhel is a tasty, healthy and easy to make snack at home. Cornflakes bhel is ready in a few minutes if you have the ingredients. 

    Chaats are always welcome at home. They are cherished and enjoyed by both children.  Here is a twist to the usual Bhel Puri made with puffed rice.  Cornflakes Bhel is ideal as a quick evening snack.

    You can use any plain (unsweetened) cornflakes. I tried used organic ragi flakes and it was awesome. There was hardly any change in taste. A few ingredients on hand and you have just got to mix them in a bowl and enjoy!

    It is ideal to store dates chutney in the refrigerator. It is handy to use in these snacks.

It’s easy to make on hard days, good for the parties or any time of the day , and most of all it fills your stomach , not something like uff, I have eaten so much and still feel hungry…unlike the pani puris, isn’t it ? I am really pretty excited to share it here.

    Pav Bhaji is a popular street food of Mumbai. It is very popular and so delicious, that you can find these vendors selling it everywhere and till late nights. This month , we Culinary Hoppers have decided to explore the Maharashtrian cuisine. This variety of food has so much to offer and it has a unique blend of taste. It is spicy with a little bit of sweetness in it.  Chapati and phulka are more commonly made here. Accompaniments such as dry potato sabzi or matki usal are common. A dish of gram flour called as Jhunka is very famous here. With rice, they make a rasam like known as amti. The curry powder used is different one, known as Goda Masala. This powder  is also used in preparing variety of rice dishes.
