What one serving looks like
One plate of about 120 g of bhel puri is a mound of puffed rice with onion, tomato, sev and chutneys.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 171 kcal, one serving is about 11 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 14 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. It is a light snack that fills the plate with air and crunch. It is one of the lighter street snacks, though sev and fried papdi add up.

How cooking changes the number
