Bhelpuri is street food and is enjoyed on the road side all over North and Western India.  It is called Jhaal Muri in Kolkata. It is synonymous with the beaches of Mumbai (Bombay), especially Chowpatty a popular beach eatery for the masses in Bombay/ Mumbai. It is a beautiful mix of puffed rice and sev (lentil noodles) and wheat crackers. This mix is placed over diced warm boiled potatoes. This mix is then topped with a melange of finely cut tomatoes, minced onions, cilantro and chillies. This blend is then flavored by drizzling fresh cilantro chutney/pesto and tamarind chutney over it.  The result is a heavenly salad like snack.

Today, Bhelpuri parties are popular all over India.
