Snap Crackle Pop!! Bombay Bhel Puri
- 2 cups puffed rice OR unsweetened rice krispies cereal
- 8-10 pieces of puries (Deep fried crisps available from the Indian store)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped heirloom or vine ripened tomatoes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet vidalia onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped kirby or hothouse cucumber
- 1/4 cup boiled, crumbled potatoes
- 2 tablespoons cilantro/mint chutney
- 2 tablespoons sweet & sour tamarind chutney
- Salt & pepper powder
- A sprinkling of paprika
- 1 cup Sev (for garnishing)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves
- For the cilantro mint chutney,please refer to http://www.food52.com/recipes/12414_basic_cilantro_mint_chutney and the recipe for the tamarind sauce may be found at http://www.food52.com/recipes/10460_sweet_sour_tamarind_sauce
- Crumble the puries into small pieces and add them to the puffed rice in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the finely chopped tomatoes, cucumber, onion & the potatoes, stir to combine.
- Add the sweet & spicy chutneys & mix lightly till the chutneys coat the puffed rice.
- Quickly ( this is of the essence since the puffed rice begins getting soggy), sprinkle with salt, pepper & paprika if desired. Ladle onto a serving plate, garnish with sev and chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately. the snap crackle & pop indicates the freshness. when that stops, you'll be left with a moist chewy mass of deflated puffed rice. Its still tasty though!
