Ingredients
For the Dabeli Masala:
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 2-3 dried red chillies
- 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
For the Filling:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly crushed
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 teaspoon homemade dabeli masala
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
For the Chutneys:
- 3-4 tablespoons sweet tamarind chutney
- 2 tablespoons green chutney (optional)
For the Pav:
- 8 pav buns
- Butter for toasting
Cooking Oil:
- 3-4 tablespoons Sresth Ora Refined Soyabean Oil (for toasting the pav and sautéing spices)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dabeli Masala: Roast the coriander, cumin, fennel seeds, red chillies, peppercorns, and cloves on low heat till it release its aroma. Let the spices cool, then grind to a fine powder. Add the cardamom powder to finish dabeli masala at home. This masala will be the flavour base of your filling.
- Make the Potato Filling: In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, salt, freshly prepared dabeli masala, crushed peanuts, pomegranate seeds and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well so that all components are evenly distributed. It is a savoury, spicy and slightly sweet filling that is the heart of the dabeli.
- Prepare the Pav: Slice the pav buns horizontally. Heat a griddle or skillet, and add Sresth Ora Refined Soyabean Oil. Put butter on each half before setting them on the griddle. Toast the pav until crisp and golden brown. This is important, as the pavs have a crunchy texture that contrasts perfectly with the soft, spiced potato filling.
- Assemble the Dabeli: Spread sweet tamarind chutney on the inside of the bottom pav. On the top of the pav put a layer of green chutney. Then add a generous scoop of the spiced potato filling. If you want extra crunch, sprinkle a few more crushed peanuts on top.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Street-Style Dabeli with a side of extra chutney and a sprinkle of fresh coriander on top. Enjoy this vibrant, authentic Mumbai street snack hot, and appreciate the interplay of textures and flavours in each bite.
