sev puri

Sev puri is my all time favorite chaat. The puri is flat and topped with sev. You can think of sev as fried vermicelli chickpea noodles. It is layered with potatoes, onions, chutneys… YUM!

*makes 10 puris*

10 puris [flat ones]
75g potato 
50g onion
1 tbsp mithi chutney
1 tbsp cilantro chutney (skip the peanuts)
1 tbsp wet lasan chutney
squeeze of lemon 
1 cup sev 
handful cilantro finely chopped 

  1. Wash potato thoroughly. Either place in pressure cooker with the skin on for 3 whistles, or peel and boil. I prefer the pressure cooker method because it assures minimus water retention. When cool to handle, peel and dice.

  2. Prepare the chutneys. Then, mix them all together in a bowl. Add a couple tablespoons of water. You want the chutney mixture to be slightly runnier than ketchup but not too watery.

  3. Assemble: First, place the puris on a plate. Next, put the potatoes on top. Then the onions. Then about ¼ to ½ tsp chutney mix. Then a big squeeze of lemon. Lastly, add the sev generously and sprinkle the cilantro. One bite puri, so open wide!

  4. Pairs well with other chaat items - pani puri, bhel, dahi puri, ragda pattis
