Рецепт Sev puri recipe – how to make Mumbai sev puri recipe
Sev puri is delicious Indian street food snack and is a type of chaat dish. This recipe originates from Mumbai. I am a big fan of all chaat recipes especially sev puri and dahi batata sev puri. pav bhaji, pani puri, misal pav, bhel puri are other chaat dishes which are very popular in Mumbai. This sev puri recipes comes from the Mumbai streets, but nowadays even five star hotels and various joints have started serving these chaats in their menu. The flat fried puris are readily available in the market. But these puris can be made at home too. But so far I have not tried making these puris. The chutneys can be easily done at home. The taste of the sev puri also depends on the chutneys. The more tasty the chutney is, the more delicous your sev puris will be.
The main ingredients used for making sev puri are :
papdis or crisp flat fried puris,
boiled potatoes,
onions,
tomatoes,
three types of chutneys – sweet chutney, red chutney and green chutney,
topped with sev, chaat masala and chopped coriander leaves.
It is also seasoned with raw mango when in season or with a hint of lemon juice and chaat masala.
Next step is to assemble all the above ingredients at one place, so that it becomes convenient for making sev puris. Once the sev puris are assembled, it is better to serve immediately, else it tends to become soggy.
