Dahi-Sev Puri-Chaat

                                                         


                                                       Dahi-Sev Puri-Chaat



           Ingredients:


·                 1 Package Pani Puris (You can buy from Indian store)
·                 1 Medium potato, boiled, peeled and diced
·                 ¼ cup Garbanzo beans
·                 ¼ Medium onion, Finely chopped
·                 ¼ Tomato, Finely chopped
·                 5 Springs of Cilantro, Finely chopped
·                 ½ cup Yogurt, well beaten
·                 ½ cup thin Sev, fine variety
·                 Mint Chutney
·                 Tamarind Chutney
·                 Chaat Masala
            Chili powder


         Method
 we are going to first start with just poking little holes very gently in to the puri. You have to be very gentle, it is very delicate, and sometimes you can see which the thinner side is and which is the thicker side, so you want to grab the thinner side and poke the hole - this is probably the hardest part of the whole thing.
Secondly we're going to start with the potatoes. One piece of potato and a couple of garbanzo beans in each of Puri. Put 1 piece of onion and 1 piece of tomatoes.
Put in the chutney according to taste and then put dahi or yogurt. Put some salt and the red chili powder and the chat masala (as per taste) - just sprinkle on.
Finaly let's go ahead and sprinkle on some sev on top and again it's to taste. Then garnish it with cilantro, so it kind of looks nice, gives it some color. There you go and then if you want just to give it a slight taste.
In case you are wondering how to eat these, the challenge is you have to put the whole thing in your mouth and eat it all at once.
