Dabeli(Maharastrain Street Food)
Today is 4th day of my Blogging Marathon and the Alphabet is "D" well yes it's A-Z alphabet marathon where we all cook recipes under this alphabet for the whole month. Its fun and exciting and conducted by Srivalli. also linking it to preeti.
I came to know Dabeli 5 yrs before while I was watching Sanjeev Kapoor's program in tv. It was a combination mix of pav bhaji little and few fried and fruit mix. I liked the idea of it. Any stuffing inside pav is my fav be it vada pav or pav bhaji. So I gave it a try and I like it ever since. The dabeli powder gives a kick to this chaat. Getting dabeli powder from grocery reduces little work but living in NY I never could find one so started making the powder at home. Its simple to make Looks like lot of work but when planned well its very easy to make.
Its nice to serve in party or to guest or even in a barbecue party. I cant say I love it but its def different so you can give a try to it. It can be made once in a while. People who have never tried before will like it for sure.
