Dahi Puri is my all time favourite chat. Whenever we go for chaats, 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 - 7 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 - beat it well and keep it ready. Assemble all the ingredients.Arrange 7 puris in a plate. Crack a hole carefully in the center of each puri. Add 1/2 tsp of mashed potatoes and green gram dhal inside each puri.
2.Then add little curd, then add onion. Add remaining curd,green chutney and dates chutney in each puri.
3.Sprinkle red chilli powder, chat masala powder on top, then add the sev. Garnish with coriander leaves.Serve immediately.
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.
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 sandwiches - its tangy, sweet, spicy with all the flavours bursting out....hmmm yummmy!
My Notes:
- Once it is assembled, serve it immediately else the puris will become soggy.
- If you make the chutneys ready then assembling and serving dahi puri is easy.
- You can use either sprout green gram or pressure cook and use it if needed instantly which is what I did. You can also a combination of sprouts too.
