  1. Bhel puri is my favorite and I have it whenever I feel half filled. The presentation is good.

    We have a thela near the house in cochin named "yadav bhel puri wala". We often have bhel puri from there.

    I also brought the ingredients when I went home and served to the friends here. Bhel puri is worth eating while in beach or with friends and family. A perfect time pass...
