    Ingredients for Dahi Puri Chaat

    Golgappa or Puri - This is the base for Dahi puri. Crispy mini puris are stuffed with all the sauces and stuffing for the Dahi puri chaat.

    Yogurt - Use thick curd or yogurt. Make sure it is not too sour. Also, use thick yogurt. If it's no thick it will flow and spoil the chaat.

    For stuffing - I usually use boiled and mashed potatoes. You may also use boiled and mashed green moong and finely chopped onions too as a stuffing.

    Sauce or Chutney - We use green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. For a more spicy version, you may also use garlic red chili chutney.

    Sev - Use mini nylon Sev as a filling for the Dahi puri chaat. It gives a nice crunch on topping over the chaat.

    Pomegranate - adding pomegranate is totally optional, but I love the pop of colors it gives to the chaat and it has a nice crunch.

    Cilantro - We usually garnish the chaat with a generous sprinkle of coriander leaves.

    Spice Powders - We use a mix of Chaat Masala, Chili powder, and Salt. Black Salt or Kala Namak gives a nice tang to the chaat if using.
