The close relative

This is intended as an alternative to the Bhel Puri post..... in case you tried it and did not like it, there is a close relative to the Bhel Puri called the Sev Batata Puri or just Batata Puri.

Similar to the Bhel Puri but without the puffed rice and directly translated Sev Batata Puri is basically Sev (yellow crunchy delicate fried vermicelli+ Potato + Puri). The Batata Puri is more uniform in taste than the Bhel Puri and has a better base of Potatoes and there is a Puri with every little bite.

I personally prefer this to the bhel puri other than a notable exception of a variety which is made at home with an overpowering taste of mint, coriander and green chilly chutney, but thats an aside.

You can find Sev Batata Puri almost anywhere but Kailash Parbat (funnily called a "Hindu Hotel") which is a fast food equivalent makes delicious Sev Puri... try it you will not regret it, however, most Sev Batata Puris are of a good standard and dont wait to find a Kailash Parbat.
