Bhel puri

On Girgaum and Juhu Chowpatty the bhelwalas set up as the sun drops into the Arabian Sea, and bhel puri is what Mumbai eats while it walks along the sand. Puffed rice, crushed flat puris and boiled potato are tossed in a steel bowl with sweet tamarind and fiery green chutneys, then buried under fine sev and handed over in a folded paper cone with a puri for a spoon. It is crunchy, sweet, sour and hot all at once, and it has to be eaten within minutes. Chef's tip: lay out every component before you start, because the mixing takes thirty seconds and the crunch only lasts about five minutes.

Dahi puri

Dahi puri is the gentle cousin of pani puri, ordered by the plateful at the chaat counters along Bandra's Hill Road and outside Elco Arcade on hot late afternoons. Six or seven hollow puris are cracked open, stuffed with potato and sprouted moong, then drowned in chilled sweetened yoghurt, dark tamarind chutney and green chutney before a snowfall of sev. Each one goes into the mouth whole, so you get the shatter of the shell, the cold creamy yoghurt and the sour-hot chutney in one bite. Chef's tip: assemble only as many as you will eat in the next two minutes; filled puris collapse fast.

Tokri chaat

Tokri chaat was made famous by the chaat counter of Royal Café in Lucknow's Hazratganj, where families queue on winter evenings for an edible basket of crisp fried potato straws heaped with crushed aloo tikki, chickpeas, papdi, sweet yoghurt, chutneys, sev and pomegranate. It is as much a show-piece as a snack: you break the basket into the filling as you eat. You need two metal strainers or a nest-basket frier to shape the baskets. Chef's tip: rinse and dry the grated potato thoroughly; wet potato spatters and the basket falls apart.
