"I didn't always see it that way. I grew up eating bhel puri in snack bars perched within South Asian grocery stores or, when we visited India, at roadside stands."
"My perspective shifted one Thanksgiving, when my aunt Rachna showed up at our house with a laundry basket filled with the components for her bhel puri, including unripe mangoes, cilantro and her secret ingredient, freshly fried tortilla strips."
"Since then, Thanksgiving in my family has never felt complete without Rachna's bhel puri, and the accompanying spectacle. I've had many versions of the dish, including ones I've thrown together at dinner parties."
"Her homemade chutneys stand in fierce contrast to one another, making for a bold bite. The freshly fried tortilla strips deftly soak up each flavor. The assortment of crispy textures makes you want to keep eating."
