Corn Bhel is this delectable, crunchy snack that combines the sweetness of corn with authentic, savoury, tangy flavours of bhel. It would be the best option for those looking for a healthy, quick snack. The classic bhel puri has been wonderfully altered in this corn bhel, where puffed rice is substituted with fresh corn kernels. This street food-inspired dish, in the Indian way, is well-balanced in textures-from crispy sev (crispy chickpea noodles) to soft sweet corn kernels. The corn bhel recipe is straightforward to make. It can be prepared by mixing boiled corn kernels with finely chopped vegetables including onions, tomatoes, cucumber, and coriander leaves. A couple of Tsps of tangy tamarind chutney along with spicy green chutney are perfect for the flavours, and a generous sprinkle of chaat masala and red chilli powder burst through the spices. On top of this, crispy sev makes this snack crunchy. At last, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a zesty flavour to this delicious snack. Corn bhel can be prepared in countless ways, so you can make it as per your choice. You could add boiled potatoes or remove pomegranate seeds, depending on a person's preferences. It would look appetising when ready to serve at a party or as an evening snack. This is also relatively easy to prepare for breakfast. If you're looking for another tasty Indian recipe that would complement your main course, I'd be more than happy to help with an incredible dahi baingan recipe that I'm going to share with you today: creamy and mouth-watering side dish
