Bhel puri is Mumbai's beach chaat of puffed rice, sev, potato, onion, coriander, tamarind chutney, and green chutney mixed right before eating. Order **"sukha bhel"** (*dry bhel*) if you need it to stay crisp longer, or **"geela bhel"** (*wet chutney bhel*) if you will eat immediately. A beach or chaat-house portion runs ₹60-180, with Girgaon Chowpatty and Juhu strongest around sunset. The trap is letting a mixed bhel sit for ten minutes; bhel puri has a very short crunch window.
