Sev puri, also known as "sev batata puri" is a dish consisting of puri, a type of thin savory cookie (thin, round, deep-fried), topped with boiled potatoes, onions, tomatoes, spicy green and sweet tamarind chutney, spices, and sev, a crunchy snack resembling noodles.
Sev Batata Puri Chaat Ingredients
- Papdis: It is a thin, savory, crunchy wafer (or whole wheat crackers). It is easily available in Indian grocery stores. You can also make them at home.
- Boiled potatoes: I used yellow potatoes. You can boil potatoes using a pressure cooker.
- Vegetables: I used finely chopped onions, and tomatoes.
- Spices: Red chili powder, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt (or black salt) are the common seasonings for sev puri chaat.
- Sev: I used Thin sev (or nylon sev).
- Lime Juice: Use freshly squeezed lime/lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Coriander Leaves: Add fresh coriander leaves for garnish
- Chutneys: Traditionally, 3 types of chutneys are used to make sev puri: coriander mint chutney, tamarind date chutney, and garlic chili chutney
