Ingredients
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.
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 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, Cumin Powder, and Salt. Black Salt or Kala Namak gives a nice tang to the chaat.
