ಕನ್ನಡ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ There are some well known areas for shopping in Bangalore and one of them I like most is Gandhi Bazar. Evening time will be really good to roam around there, and our shopping will be complete only after having some food, preferably chat food. You can see so many chat shops serving various chat food to the never ending crowd. I had been to Gandhi Bazar with my sister quite a few months back.

There was a chaat shop near our house and we used to have some junk food while returning from office. We were well known to him, and he used to give us the parcel quickly even when there is a long queue! We both were the fans of Bhel Puri which he used to prepare. After shifting from that area, we tasted Bhel Puri at so many places, but didn't find that taste anywhere else.  I will prepare Bhel Puri occasionally when I feel like having something at home. Bhel Puri should be eaten immediately once it is ready.

Because sev is the main ingredient which enhances the taste of chaat items. My mom prepares sev at home and she will prepare mixture using the sev. It will be very nice with a cup of tea or coffee.
