Unlike pani puri, sev puri is round and flat. On top of it one puts cut potato, onion and tomato and then sweet tamarind chutney and spicy chutney. Last but not the least is sev which is made from fried gram flour. Option here is to put curd on top to make delicious dahi puri.

Bhel has all the above ingredients mixed well but they are not places on top of the puri. However, bhel has crushed puri pieces.

If you eat an Indian thali then chances are that you will not be able to eat anything for the rest of the day. A typical Indian thali consists of an unlimited choice of dal, kadhi, 3 vegetables, rotis, puris and farsans (Indian starters) such as dhokla and kachori. Accompaniments include chhaas, salads, pickle, papads and choixe of chutneys. A sweet or an ice-cream (normally limited to one) is also given.

Mumbai Toast Sandwich

Very easy to make snack but equally tasty as the rest. Chutney and butter are applied on two slices of bread and chopped vegetables are placed between them. Chaat masala and sev with an extra dollop of butter is also applied on the ready toast.
