Who does not like to munch on bhel, the all-time favourite Indian roadside snack? The spectra of flavours and textures packed into a bowlful of bhel is truly mind-boggling and makes it a hot favourite with young and old alike.

We recreate the same wonderful experience in a healthier way, for kids to enjoy as an after-school treat . Oats and poha are roasted till crisp and perked up with crunchy peanuts, tongue-tickling chutneys and juicy veggies.

Do not forget to add a dash of lemon juice as it is instrumental in boosting the flavours of the Oats Bhel.

You can also treat your kids to other healthy snacks like the Moong Sprouts Dosa and Multigrain Palak Paneer Roti .
