Question
Which food constituents do we get from the ingredients used to make bhel?
Solution
The kurmura in the bhel is a carbohydrate. The grams and peanuts are rich in proteins. The shev is made of gram flour and hence it also contains proteins. Since it is fried, there is a good content of fats too in it. Chutney made from dates have sugars and minerals like iron. Pudina used in bhel is rich in vitamins, minerals, and high in fibre content. If lemon or raw mango is used, the vitamin C content is also high. However, if bhel is purchased from a roadside shop, it may have microorganisms and contaminants and it can cause illness.
