Dahi Puri || Dahi Batata Puri

-
Vaaav, the look itself is yummy, Isn't. This is Dahi Puri Chaat, originated from the ever great city of Mumbai, Maharashtra and one of the most sold items in Mumbai streets. Chaat masala is originally from North India, mainly Uttar Pradesh but then people made different variants of chaat. Dahi Puri is one among that which I liked most. This is the most tasteful one in all chaats. In Mumbai, if anybody goes out for shopping etc. nobody will come back home without having some sort of chaat items or the main snack item of the common working class people. You cannot see a street in Mumbai without a chaat wala. Dahipuri is not only famous in Maharashtra, but also a common item ordered by all chaat lovers all over India. Now this has been a favourite snack item in South India also. Dahi means curd in Hindi and Batata is Marathi word for potatoes.

It is a heavy breakfast served in Punjab, Delhi and nowadays in most of the northern states. Chole Bhature is generally accompanied with curd and is served with onions, carrot / lemon pickle. I had tried  chole Bhature from restaurants several times and was searching for a perfectly light, fluffy bhatura recipe.Much to my surprise,one day I had it from one of our very close family friend Mrs. Lathika Dunsten's home.
