Sindhi Rasoi

This is a typical street food that is happily hogged by Sindhis.After panipuri ,this is most yummy Chaat(savouries) and its really simple to assemble it

Honestly speaking i belong to that greedy- type- of- people -genre who wants to participate in every food event held in blogosphere.So this time it’s gonna be an entry for multiple events(sorry guys ,i dont wanna miss any one)

Dhai(dahi or curd) sev(crispy fried gramflour snacks,also called Nylon sev…eeeks) puri(crisp small ,fried discs made from all purpose flour or maida) is my entry for Monthly Mingle - Appetizers & Hors’Doeuvres brought to us by Mansi .This monthly mingle was started by Meeta of http://whatsforlunchhoney.blogspot.com/ which is a treat to your eyes ,because of its classic and most elegant pictures of food

Then its going to Zlamushka,for Tried and tasted event,where i  am sending this recipe as inspired from Nupur of onehotstove.I just can’t miss it coz, Nupur is the first person whose blog i visited while searching for a pavbhaji recipe,and i was then gradually hooked to food blogs so much that i decided to come up with sindhi rasoi(ofcourse which meant loads of extra work for hubby dear to arrange the whole setup)

The third event is MBP-streetfood ,and as per rules the link of my fellow blogger from where this recipe is inspired is Nupur of One hot stove

Well ,going back to today’s recipe,Dhai sev puri could be served as appetizers ,but care should be taken to serve it immediately as they tend to get soggy pretty soon ,even waiting to click picture of them will spoil their crispness as in my case:-(

But that should not discourage you to try this out.Though high in calories,but this is sure a feast for your tastebuds

Here we go….

Ingredients:

• Fried puris(unpuffed) as many as you need
• Mint coriander chutney ..1/2 spn for every puri
• Tamarind chutney(or date tamarind sauce)
• Curd(yoghurt) 1 tspn per puri
• Finely chopped onions(for toppings)
• Boiled and finely chopped potatoes(again for toppings)
• Salt
• Chaat masala powder(or amchur powder/black salt powder which ever is available)
• Red chilly powder
• Coriander leaves for garnishing
• Sev  a spoonful for every puri

Method:

• Stock some unpuffed puris,those are available at farson stores or chaat waalas carts
• In case you are unable to find them ,you can make it yourself and store till used.You can find its recipe here
• Peel and mince onion very fine.Boil ,peel,chop potatoes finely
• Get ready with your Mint coriander chutney(Grind a cup of coriander leaves with handful of mint leaves,a sliced onion,ginger and garlic,salt, 2 spns of tamarind pulp,and a chilly or two with little of water)
• Prepare tamarind chutney,its recipe is here
• Now just before serving,arrange puris in serving plate,put a dash of tamarind chutney,toppings of onion and potatoes,a spoonful of curd (beaten properly,seasoned with salt and pepper),some mint coriander chutney,sev,and sprinkle some chaat masala or blacksalt powder and finally garnish with coriander leaves
• Serve immediately and watch them going …going….gone!
• Now one thing that deters food lovers from preparing this at home is unavailability of puris and time constraint of making it in home.So one can take tips from Nupur,or try out the simplest option available on earth.Just cut bread slices into four pieces and fry them on medium flame in hot oil till golden brown,drain the extra oil on tissue paper and let them cool properly.You can even use brown bread for this ,so that you can boast of a healthy version of this dhai sevpuri
