Dahi Puri Recipe

Dahi Puri is my all time favourite chat. Whenever we go for chats, its either Pav Bhaji or Dahi Puri, its my staple order in chat shops :) I have used all my color ramkeins for this post, now you know how crazy I am when it comes to ramekins ;)

Here is my version of homemade dahi puri for you all....Enjoy your fav chat at home.

Dahi Puri Recipe - Ingredients

Makes 1 plate

• Puri - 6 puris
• Curd - 1/2 cup
• Sev - a handful
• Boiled Green Gram Dhal - 1/4 cup (You can use sprouted too)
• Boiled potatoes - 1/4 cup
• Green Chutney - 2 tbsp
• Dates Chutney - 2 tbsp
• Onion - 1 medium sized chopped
• Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp chopped finely
• Chat masala powder - 1 tsp
• Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Turmeric powder - a pinch
• Red Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
• Salt - as required
• Sugar - 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. Mash the potatoes, add cumin powder, turmeric and mix well. Keep aside. Mix curd with sugar, salt and a pinch of red chilli powder. Keep aside.
2. Arrange 6 puris in a plate. Crack a hole carefully in the center of each puri. Add mashed potatoes, green gram dhal, onion, green chutney and dates chutney in each puri.
3. Then pour 1/2 cup of curd over the puris. Sprinkle red chilli powder, chat masala powder on top, then add the sev. Serve with coriander leaves garnished.

You can make the puris and chutneys the before day . Once that is ready all others can be done a while before assembling. Enjoy this easy and yummy chat at home.

My Notes:

• Use thick chilled curd, adding sugar to curd is optional.
• If you make the chutneys ready then assembling and serving dahi puri is easy.
• You can either sprout green gram or pressure cook and use it if needed instantly which is what I did.

I take the short route of buying the dates chutney ready made these days ;) It is called bhel puri chutneys and stays well for long when refrigerated. I use even for sandiwiches - its tangy, sweet, spicy with all the flavours bursting out....hmmm yummmy!
