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.
