Hello dear foodies. I am sharing an easy and quick recipe of Popcorn Bhel, which is a very healthy snack.
Bhel is a popular Indian snack. It has a spicy and tangy taste. You can find a wide variety of bhel. Most bhel recipes call for puffed rice or the kurmura / murmura. Since I like fusion food, I used popcorn instead of puffed rice. It’s one of my most favourite snacks. Popcorn bhel is a healthy way to satiate your tummy between meals. Don’t fight with your small hunger, have a popcorn bhel. Now let’s begin.
