What is Dabeli?

Dabeli is a beloved Indian street food that comes from the Kutch region of Gujarat. 

It’s a flavorful explosion of flavors.

Dabeli recipe features a spiced potato filling nestled within a toasted, buttered bun. 

This bun is covered with a tangy tamarind chutney and a fiery garlic chili paste, adding sweet and spicy layer. 

Crunchy peanuts, pomegranate seeds, and crispy sev  provide delightful textural contrasts. 

The result is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, making Dabeli a truly irresistible snack. 

It’s typically served hot and enjoyed as a quick bite or a light meal. 

With its unique combination of ingredients and its vibrant taste, Dabeli has become a popular street food choice across India.

What goes well with Dabeli?

The crunchy, tangy, and spicy profile of dabeli adds wonderfully with cooling yogurt raita, refreshing masala chaas, crispy onion bhaji, sweet and sour chutneys, or even simple salad.

What is dabeli made of?

Dabeli is made of soft buttery buns that contain spicy potato filling, tangy tamarind chutney, spicy green chutney, pomegranate arils, crispy sev and fresh cilantro.

What chutneys go in dabeli?

If you look at traditional dabeli recipe it contains only tamarind chutney and green chutney.

But when I feel the need to change the taste a little bit I add date chutney and garlic chutney also.

You can also use your favorite chutneys.

What is Dabeli filling made of?

Dabeli filling is made of boiled mashed potatoes, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, dabeli masala, and chopped coriander.

What is difference between Dabeli and Vada Pav?

Vada is much simpler as compared to Dabeli.

It contain deep fried potato patty rather than potato filling made with a lots of spices which is used in Dabeli recipe.

Both offer a different flavor profile but are the taste of India.
