Notes
Tips:
Always use fresh, crispy murmura for the best texture. Dry roast if it feels even slightly stale., Prepare all elements before mixing; combine just before serving to keep the bhel puri crunchy., Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of green chutney and chilli powder., Customize with additions like boiled peas or chickpeas for variation., Don’t let the mix sit after adding chutneys, as murmura will quickly lose its crunch.
