Protein Sprouts Bhel

Street-food bhel rebuilt around sprouted moong and peanuts, with puffed rice added last so it stays crunchy — part of the protein-chaat wave sweeping Indian snack menus. At 200 high-volume calories, it satisfies chaat cravings on a cut far better than the fried original.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sprouted moong
• 1/2 cup puffed rice or puffed quinoa
• 2 tbsp roasted peanuts
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 small tomato, chopped
• 1 tbsp tamarind chutney
• 1 tsp chaat masala
• 1 tbsp sev (light sprinkle)

Instructions

1. Toss the sprouts with onion, tomato, and peanuts.
2. Add the tamarind chutney and chaat masala and mix well.
3. Fold in the puffed rice at the very end.
4. Top with a light sprinkle of sev and eat immediately.
