The moment somebody mentions Oriental Bhel, an image of fried noodles with sautéed veggies pops into our mind. But, this one is very different!

Made of deep-fried strips of samosa pattis, this Oriental Bhel has a special crunch that has to be experienced to be understood.

Veggies and sprouts sautéed in butter, and a drizzling of spicy sauces add varying shades of excitement to this snack, not stopping till it tops the chart of your favourites!
