Chinese Bhel

Chinese Bhel

Chinese bhel is a perfect blend of crispy veggies,fried noodles and sauces!Its an Indian fast food originated from Mumbai,basically known as Indian noodles.Its an innovative version on the existing bhel.



Its very easy to prepare with two simple steps.First you have to prep the noodles and then the sauce.The veggies are just sauted on high flame for few seconds to retain the crunchiness.Sauces adding in it gives a sweet and sour taste, with that crispy noodles is just heavenly,It’s just like an Indian street foods chatpata…khatta aur meeta (sour and sweet).I have some street food recipes here : Pani Puri ,Vada Pav .

I think this is an easier version of American Choup suey which i have already on the blog!Here is it American Chop suey!The only time consuming job in this, is to parboil the noodles and fry it.All other things will be made in a jiffy.


One more thing to take care while making this is,you have to mix the fried noodles with sauce just before serving.Otherwise it will go soggy and you will not get that bite and fun in having this!!(maza nahin ayega)
