Masala Rice Cakes:

Bhel Puri Cakes
  1. In a large bowl add all the bhel puri ingredients and mix quickly. Top each masala rice cake with bhel puri mixture, garnish with extra sev & cilantro. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Try and use a basic bhel puri mix and nothing that’s overly spicy, I use Swad brand bhel puri mix.

Deseeding the cucumbers and tomatoes helps to keep the chaat crunchier for longer.

To make ahead, keep all the ingredients prepped and portioned out in separate bowls. As soon as you’re ready to serve, mix, assemble and enjoy!
