Healthy Chinese Bhel Using Chapati

Its been more than a month now that I have been successful in ditching unhealthy junk food and immensely trying hard to implement healthy lifestyle by cooking at home with low carb ingredients and high fiber content. And that's what lead Me to prepare this utterly magnificent tongue tingling dish made with Chapati and lots of veggies. Though it has sauces which are not quite "healthy" but still such a small quantity won't harm for that "Healthy Quotient".

I was quite hesitant though, regarding the taste but was amazed to find out that it tasted heavenly delicious than using fried hakka noodles! No wonder this is now a family favourite at our home.!!!


Ingredients: (Serves 3)
  • 1 1/2 Cup Fried Chapati Noodles
  • 1 Cup Grated OR Shredded Carrot
  • 1 Cup Shredded Cabbage
  • 1/4th Cup Spring Onion Greens finely chopped
  • Salt if needed
For Sauce:
  • 1 tsp Minced Garlic  
  • 1 tbsp Red Chili Sauce 
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Vinegar
Chapati Noodles:
  • Using a kitchen scissor / knife cut Chapati into strips. 

  • Let the width of the strips be half inch wide. Once your chapati is cut into strips, now in batches deep fry these chapati chips till they are light golden brown.

  • Transfer the fried chapati chips onto a tissue paper to absorb the extra oil.
  • Your fried Chapati noodles are ready.
Method: 
  • In a bowl, add minced garlic, red chilly sauce, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar and mix well.
  • In a mixing bowl, add carrot, cabbage some spring onion greens, fried  Chapati noodles and above prepared sauce. Keep aside some spring onion greens for garnishing.

  • Mix all the ingredients well. Check for seasoning.

  • Chinese Bhel using leftover Chapati's is ready.
  • Garnish with finely chopped spring onions and serve. 
Note: 1) You may add veggies as per your choice. Capsicum, Beans Sprouts, Onions etc.

2) In case you don't want to have raw veggies, you can saute this veggies along with the sauce and then add to the fried chapati noodles once the veggies are cooled off.
