Questions

Can I make Peanut Bhel gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1/2 cup sev (crispy chickpea noodles). Swap the pasta for a gluten-free one, cooked a minute short of its package time. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Peanut Bhel keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Peanut Bhel?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
