    Dahi Puri Chaat

    Dahi puri recipe - a chaat recipe from Mumbai. One of the most popular Indian chaat recipes.

    Dahi Puri served in a plate.

    This dahi puri is very easy to make. I usually make three chutneys (coriander chutney, tamarind date chutney and garlic chutney) a day before. And also I use leftover boiled chana. So there is no much preparation left on the day I make this chaat.

    The puris/golgappas are stuffed with onion, potato and boiled chana. Then drizzle of 3 must-have chutneys and spiced yogurt on top. Lastly topped with nylon sev. The flavor combination is similar to other chaat recipes. It is spicy, sweet and tangy with crispy texture.

    Step By Step Photo Instructions:

    1) I usually use leftover boiled black chickpeas. But if you are making it from scratch. Wash ½ cup of dried kala chana well under running cold water. Soak in enough water for overnight or at least 8 hours. Then discard the water. Take chana in the pressure cooker with fresh 1 ½ cups of water. Cook it for 2 whistles on high + 30 mins on low heat. Let the pressure go down by itself. Open the lid. Drain the chana and use in the recipe.

    2) Boil the potato in a pressure cooker. Take washed potato in cooker, add enough water so potato is submerged in the water. Cook it for 2-3 whistles or till the potato is cooked and tender. Let it cool to touch. Then peel it and chop. Also finely chop the onions and keep it aside.

    3) Prepare the yogurt mixture. Take yogurt in a bowl. Add red chili powder, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala and salt.

    4) Mix well and keep refrigerated.

    5) Prepare all three chutneys. You can make them one or two days earlier and keep refrigerated.

    6) When you start making Arrange all the ingredients or elements on the work surface. So it will be quick and easy to assemble.

    7) Gently make hole in the center of the puri. Arrange the puri on a plate. 7-8 puri per plate is enough.

    14) Now top it with yogurt

    15) Lastly add sev. Puri should be covered with sev. Just for the photo purpose I have added less sev. I added more sev later on.

    Serve dahi puri immediately. Make two three plates simultaneously or one by one. However you need them or you can manage.

    Serving suggestion: Serve as a evening snack.

    Expert Tips:

    • Instead of boiled black chickpeas, You can use mung sprouts or mixed sprouts or white chana (Chole).
    • If you want, you can also add some finely chopped tomatoes and/or raw mangoes as well.
    • This tastes best when the yogurt is chilled. So make yogurt mixture ahead of time and keep refrigerated.
    • There is no hard rules for the ingredient measurements. All the ingredients and chutneys quantity are adjustable as your liking taste.
