Green Chutney:
Blend an handful of mint, cilantro, 1 inch piece ginger, 2 green chillies, salt to taste, 1 tsp of sugar in a blender. Grind till a smooth paste and add water if required. The consistency should be little thin and watery. Squeeze in juice from 1/2 a lemon and serve.

Heat this mixture on low flame.
Add the jaggery and allow to dissolve.
Add the chaat masala powder and salt.
Boil this mixture on medium heat for 20 minutes till the mixture thickens to a saucy consistency.
Take a large mixing bowl, add in all the vegetables and give a good mix.

Finely add in the puffed rice, and papdi.

Notes:
This is just the basic Bhel Puri Recipe. You can add/omit any ingredient as per your liking.
I have also tried with roasted/boiled peanuts, Sprouted Green Moong Dhal, Boiled Channa etc.
Onion is optional.
For serving in a party, add in all the dry ingredients and keep the chutneys by the side so it would not be soggy.
Sweet chaat chutney can be made in advance and refrigerated.
