Every now and then, we often pass a bhelpuri vendor and find ourselves tempted beyond measure. While the weather seems great and eating bhel or sev puri might seem harmless, it can give you enough calories which you will have to burn by being physically active for more than an hour.
More so, consuming any eatables from outdoor vendors during the rainy season might not be a good idea as this is the perfect season for the E Coli bacteria to breed. But yes, this doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your favourite “Chaat” at home! I’ve prepared the perfect Skinny Sev Puri recipe that will leave you wanting for more!
It is called skinny because it won’t make you fat or sick!
