Dabeli

Dabeli is a pune special road side dish. It can be called as wada-pav's sister :P As opposed to hot and spicy wada pav, dabeli is sweet and sour because of the tamarind and jaggery. Its a very chatpata and filling snack.

Ingredients (serves 2)
2 big or three small boiled potatoes
1 chopped onion
1 green chilly (optional)
1/2 cup salted peanuts
some oil, mustard seeds and jeera seeds
1 teaspoon jeera powder
1 teaspoon dhaniya powder
1 tablespoon dabeli masala (you cannot make dabeli without this masala)
1 spoon tamarind
1 spoon jaggery
1/2 cup pomegranate (optional)
1/2 cup thin sev
medium sized paav/bun as per required

Directions

Stuffing: Mash potatoes and keep aside. Put some oil in a pan and after it heats, put mustard seeds and jeera. After they splatter put half spoon turmeric powder. Then put chopped onions and fry them till they become transparent and reddish in color. put some chopped green chillies (optional). Now add the mashed potatoes to this and mix them well. Add dabeli masala, red chilly powder, dhaniya powder and some jeera powder. Add salt to taste. Then add some jaggery and tamarind paste to this mixture. mix everything well and let it cook well.

Dabeli: split the paav into two. Apply some tamarind chutney from inside. Put the stuffing evenly and then put some peanuts, sev, onion, coriander, pomegranate seeds on top and close it with the other side of paav. You can roast this on pan for some time with butter to make it crisp and more tasty (and if you are not very calorie conscious :))

Dabeli is ready! it should look something like the photo given below
