Bhel puri's sugar almost entirely comes from one ingredient — the sweet date and tamarind chutney — which is why its range is so wide. Asking for less sweet chutney (or more of the green one) is the single biggest lever on its sugar content. The puffed-rice base is low in sugar but digests quickly, so this is a snack where portion size matters too.

Source: Nutrition-app estimates ranging from ~5.4g sugar per 93g to ~11.9g per 100g — nearly all of the variation is the sweet date/tamarind chutney, which vendors add in very different amounts. Total carbs: rough recipe estimate for puffed rice, sev, and chutney together. GI: high — puffed rice is one of the fastest-digesting rice forms. (last verified 2026-10-21)
