Dabeli is a Gujarati street food that I grew up eating . I love the taste of it as it is spicy, tangy and sweet. It is served in between a Bun bread but in this recipe we will be using a crunchy phyllo cup that adds an extra crunch. The phyllo is light and airy. You can make the stuffing ahead of time.

Dabeli Bites

Kutchi Dabeli is a famous street food in India especially in Gujarat and Maharashtra. I grew up eating them on the streets and we called it Double Roti.  
The textures of peanuts, potatoes and pomegranate seeds works so well together in between a Pav bread. The flavor is bit more sweet and spicy just like any ordinary gujarati dish. I made Dabeli Phyllo Cups using the same stuffing from Dabeli and replacing the Pav. It adds lot crunch and tastes so delicious. It’s a perfect way to serve them as an appetizer when entertaining for parties especially during Diwali. I promise your guests will be drooling and will crave for more. It’s very easy to make them and you can make the filling ahead of time. 
I can’t wait for you to make them.
