I quite liked the idea of adding sprouts and fruits to make it so healthy and nourishing....too good!!
Tastier and healthier than the regular bhel, of course I did add the theeka and meetha chutney.The fruits give the bhel a very refreshing taste.
I was quite casual with the measurements for the fruits and sprouts but kept the proportions roughly. Be sure that you use sweet juicy tomatoes for the best taste. It's a wonderful nutritious snack. If I had had such dishes when I was a small child, I would never have made a fuss about eating fruits and sprouts!
