Dabeli is a popular street food from Gujarat, India. It is a spicy and flavorful snack that consists of a spiced potato filling stuffed inside a bun, garnished with various chutneys, sev (crispy noodles), and pomegranate seeds. Here's a recipe for making Dabeli:
Ingredients:
For the Potato Filling:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Dabeli masala (readily available spice mix)
- 2 tablespoons tamarind-date chutney
- 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped (for garnish)
For Assembling Dabeli:
- 8 Dabeli buns or pav (soft buns)
- Tamarind-date chutney
- Green chutney
- Garlic chutney
- Nylon sev (crispy noodle-like snack)
- Pomegranate seeds (optional)
- Butter or ghee for toasting the buns
Instructions:
- Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
- Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and mix well with the onions.
- Add Dabeli masala and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.
- Add water as needed to moisten the mixture. Cook for a few minutes until the flavors blend together and the mixture is heated through.
- Turn off the heat and let the potato filling cool slightly.
- Slice the Dabeli buns horizontally, keeping one side intact to create a pocket.
- Apply tamarind-date chutney on one side of the bun and green chutney on the other side.
- Spread a generous amount of the potato filling inside the bun.
- Sprinkle some roasted peanuts and chopped coriander leaves on top of the potato filling.
- Close the bun and press it gently.
- Heat a pan or tawa over medium heat. Apply some butter or ghee on the pan.
- Toast the assembled Dabeli buns on both sides until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Once toasted, remove the buns from the pan and keep them aside.
- To assemble the Dabeli, spread some garlic chutney on a serving plate.
- Place the toasted Dabeli bun on top of the garlic chutney.
- Sprinkle nylon sev generously on the bun.
- Drizzle tamarind-date chutney and green chutney over the sev.
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds (if desired) and some more chopped coriander leaves.
- Repeat the process for the remaining buns.
- Serve the delicious Dabeli immediately and enjoy!
