Dahi Sev Puri are deep fried mini puris filled with spiced up yogurt, boiled potatoes, sev pomegranate seeds, sprouts and with sweet chutney pani puri chutney toppings.
Yesterday I posted Pani Puri and here comes the relative of Pani Puri – Dahi Sev Puri. Dahi means curd/yogurt in Hindi.
What Is Dahi Sev Puri?
As the name suggests, it’s the same deep fried mini puris but filled with yogurt based topping. This one is kiddo’s favorite. You can modify/adjust these toppings as per your preference and prepare varieties of Pani Puri.
For the regular Pani Puri, the Pani Puri chutney is diluted with water and also we use the spiced up potato fillings and kala channa. But for this Dahi sev puri, we use plain boiled potatoes but with spiced up yogurt mix. With sev and pomegranates seeds, this tastes completely different from the regular pani puri.
I usually include the Pani Puri chutney (non-diluted) in this recipe too for the additional spice but of course for vaandu I skip them. He just loves this with sev, pomegranate seeds and the flavored Dahi. All the other toppings are just for us and again please adjust these according to your preference.
Sprouts Are Optional
Also, adding sprouts is completely optional but these chaats are perfect recipes to sneak in some protein for the kiddo. With all those spicy and tangy and savory flavors you can happily gobble them up.
