Dabeli is a famous Mumbai roadside food and Gujarat street food. In fact, Dabeli originated from Kutch, Gujarat and hence also known as kutchii dabeli or double roti. Mumbai roadside dabeli is made with Indian bread also known as ladi pav which is stuffed with potato mixture which can be either sweet, mild or spicy depending on your preference.

The term "Dabeli" in Gujarati stands for pressed which resembles to the potato mixture being stuffed in the pav and then the pav cooked on a tava. Dabeli is very famous snack in Gujarati households and is also tummy filling, the best part about this delicious snack is that it is really very easy and quick to make.

To make dabeli, you need to make the potato mixture first. Combine the dabeli masala, sweet chutney and a little water (approx. 1 tbsp) in a bowl and mix well.

To proceed, take a pav slit it into half. Apply 1 tsp of
geeli lehsun ki chutney and 1/2 tbsp of sweet chutney evenly on the inner sides of the pav. Stuff with 2 tbsp of the stuffing and top with 1 tsp of onions, 1 tsp of masala peanuts and 1 tsp of sev.
