Instructions
Making dabeli masala powder
- Dry roast the red chili, cumin, cloves, cinnamon and coriander seeds in a small frying pan or skillet until fragrant and lightly toasted.
- Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.
- When cooled, add all the ingredients in a dry grinder or coffee-grinder.
- Grind to a fine powder. Set aside.
Preparing the red chilli garlic chutney
- Remove the stems and seeds from 1 to 2 dry red chillies. Soak the chillies in hot water for 20 to 30 minutes. When the chillies soften, drain the water.
- In a small mixer-grinder or blender, add the soaked red chilies, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Grind or blend to a fine and smooth paste.
- Add water if needed while blending. Keep aside.
Making potato stuffing
- Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker or Instant pot or in a pan on the stovetop with water until fork tender.
- Peel and mash them. Set aside.
- In a frying pan or wok(kadai), heat oil. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
- Then add chopped onions and fry the onions till they become soft.
- Add asafoetida/hing and fry for a few seconds on a low heat.
- Add the sweet Tamarind chutney to the onions and mix well.
- Add the mashed potatoes and again stir to combine to get an even mixture.
- Add the prepared dabeli masala powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well and add salt.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes stirring the mixture often.
- If the mixture looks a little dry then add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. When done, spread the potato filling on a plate.
- Sprinkle some grated coconut on the potato filling.
- Add chopped coriander leaves on top.
- Next add pomegranate seeds or grapes or both. Keep the potato filling aside.
Making dabeli
- Assemble all the ingredients mentioned under the list "For Serving Dabeli" in one place.
- Apply the sweet tamarind chutney on one halve of the pav or burger bun and the red garlic chutney on the other halve.
- Take a portion of the potato filling and place it on top of one of the halves of the pav or bun.
- Add some chopped onions and coriander leaves
- Top it up with some roasted peanuts and pomegranate seeds.
- Sprinkle some dabeli masala also. Lastly top it with sev.
- Cover with the other halve of pav or bun.
- Prepare the remaining dabeli pav in the same way and serve warm.
Notes
- Instead of the red garlic chutney you can also use Coriander Mint Chutney or Coriander Chutney.
- Dabeli masala powder is easily available in Indian cities and online. So you could use ready dabeli masala.
- Other variation is to add pav bhaji masala instead of dabeli masala. The dabeli will still taste good.
- Lastly to add more spice, add spiced or masala peanuts instead of plain peanuts.
