    Sev Puri Recipe - a popular Indian street food recipe. This tongue tickling chaat recipe is from Mumbai.

    Sev Puri plate.

    Any chaat recipe is my favorite. But this one is my all time favorite. It has all kind of texture and flavors in every bite. You feel crisp papdis, crunchy sev and refreshing vegetables. Also burst of flavors from all chutneys like sweet, spicy, tangy and hot. All these complex yet delicious flavors, You will definitely ask for more.

    Here in USA, it is hard to get authentic taste of chaat in restaurants. Every time I try chaat recipes here, it is lacking something. Like it is missing enough hot and spicy flavors. Many folks here can’t handle spicy food. Thus they have customized the recipe, so everyone can have it. But it’s my palate, I never liked it. So I always make chaat recipes at home.

    Ingredient Notes:

    • Papdi or flat puris - Make papdi at home or use the store bought one. It is flat, crispy puris made with all purpose flour. I have shared papdi recipe and baked papdi both recipes on the blog.
    • Veggies - It gives refreshing touch. I have used chopped boiled potatoes, onions and tomatoes. If raw mangoes are in season and you have it available. Then use it. It gives nice tangy flavor to the chaat. I have not that handy, so I skipped it.
    • Three chutneys - You can prepared them a day before. Store then in container and refrigerate it. Use next day while making chaat. All the chutneys stays good for a week in fridge. So plan ahead of time to make it easier.
      • green coriander chutney: spicy
      • Tamarind date chutney: sweet and tangy
      • Red garlic chutney: spicy and hot
    • Chaat masala - alternately you can use mixture of black salt, roasted cumin powder and black pepper powder.
    • Thin sev - You can make sev at shome or buy it from store. Always use fine variety or nylon sev. It is thin, crispy noodles made from chickpea flour.

    It is optional, but you can sprinkle some finely chopped cilantro or coriander leaves at the end.

        Yes yogurt would be good addition. I have kept it authentic mumbai style, so not added yogurt.
