Making Dabeli stuffing
- Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan
- Once the oil is hot, add onions and sauté them till translucent
- Now add chili powder, turmeric powder, and Dabeli masala. Mix them well
- My dabeli masala is like a thick paste so I’ve added 1 tbsp water here. If yours is powdery, you can skip adding water
- Stir the onion with masala for few seconds
- Now add boiled potatoes, remaining 1 tbsp water and mix everything
- Now add salt, sweet chutney and mix it well
- Let the stuffing cook for a few minutes
- Now transfer the stuffing into a bowl and spread chopped onion, masala peanuts, pomegranate arils, and coriander leaves
Assembling Dabeli
- Take pav/bun and apply garlic chutney on one side and sweet chutney on the other side
- Now add dabeli stuffing on one side of pav and add more masala peanuts and pomegranate arils on top and cover it with another side of pav
- Repeat it for other pav/bun
Roasting Dabeli
- Heat butter on griddle and roast prepared dabeli buns on both sides
Serving dabeli
- Take the roasted buns and roll it over sev and serve dabeli immediately with sweet chutney and green chutney
Notes
If you don’t like garlic chutney, you can replace it with green chutney
If you don’t have masala peanuts, replace it with plain peanuts
If you don’t have dabeli masala, use garam masala or pav bhaji masala. The dabeli is still going to taste good
