Dabeli

written by bhavesh

Dabeli also known as double roti is a famous Mumbai roadside food and Gujarat street food. Dabeli originates from Kutch, Gujarat and if you have friends from Kutch I am sure you have had this tasty treat. This is my take on dabeli instead of putting the mixture in-between the bread and then cooking it on a hotplate with butter. you make fresh bread dough and cook it with the mixture inside it. Tangy, spicy and lip smacking yummy – Dabeli ! This popular Indian street food is simply the BEST. And it’s very easy to make at home. The mixture is made from potatoes spices and peanuts however you can really put what ever you fancy within the mixture. I have also made this with pizza topping for the kids! Give dabeli a go and bring the taste of India into your home.
