Recipe of Dabeli | How to Make Kutchi Dabeli

Dabeli is a delicious indian snack/street food. It originates from Kutch Gujarat. Indian buns(paav) are stuffed with potato mixture. It tastes spicy, tangy, sweet and crunchy. Initially my Mom use to make the Dabeli masala at home but now as its easily available in market so prefer not make at home. To make the dabeli like street vendors its a must you add dabeli masala and Khajur Imli Chutney. Also check the Chutney Recipe. Dabeli buns are a little big in size then paav bhaji or vada paav so that you can fill the stuffing properly. Dabeli is served with chutneys and sev on top which makes the dish yummy. So lets proceed step by step.

For the stuffing

Mix all the ingredients well. The Dabeli Stuffing is ready.

 

For assembling Dabeli

Heat butter in a non stick pan.

 

Slice the paav with the help of knife in such a manner that the paav doesn't break from between. Place the sliced paav in the pan and roast it from both sides in butter. Be careful that the paav doesn't burn.

 

After the paav is roasted remove it from tava and place it on plate. On one side of paav apply garlic chutney and other side apply peanut coriander chutney

 

Now place the stuffing we prepared on one side of the paav.
