Steps

prep15 min
all wet and dry components held separately
Boil and cool the potato, chop the onion, seed and chop the tomato, and measure both chutneys before opening the crisp ingredients. Bhel has almost no recovery time once mixed, so every component must be ready before the final toss.
mix1 min
dry ingredients evenly combined
In a wide bowl combine the puffed rice, most of the sev and the crushed papdi. Keep back a little sev for the finish. Use a wide bowl so the chutneys can later disperse quickly without prolonged mixing.
mix1 min
lightly coated, never wet
Add potato, onion, tomato, tamarind chutney, green chutney, chaat masala, lime juice and cilantro. Toss briskly just until distributed. Stop before the puffed rice absorbs enough liquid to lose its crackle.
top1 min
serve at once
Divide immediately among bowls or paper cones and finish with the reserved sev. Do not let a mixed bowl wait for the table: the transition from crisp to soggy begins as soon as chutney touches puffed rice and papdi.
