In my never ending quest to marry healthy food with street food- I discovered farro bhel.

Farro is an ancient whole wheat grain that cooks up beautifully in the rice cooker. 3 cups of water to 1 cup farro and the rice cooker does its thing in 30 minutes or so.

Tamarind Chutney: My recipe is approximate and involves boiling ½ cup of tamarind pulp with 1/3 cup of jaggery, 1 cup of water, 1 tbsp of cumin powder, 2 tbsp of dried ginger powder, salt, 1 star anise pod, ½ a stick of cinnamon and ½ tsp of black pepper till the consistency is syrupy (around 20 minutes).

Green chutney: Grind chillies and cilantro together with salt

Other Bhel ingredients- boiled potatoes, raw onion, cilantro and sev

Mix! Its Bhel for dinner
