Kutchi Dabeli
Kutch's spiced potato pav with pomegranate and peanut, dabeli masala perfume. Bold, loud, sweet-hot-sour-tangy all at once — India's street food playbook. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.

Instructions
- 1
Lay out your stations like a busy stall: one for chopping, one for cooking, one for building.
- 2
Handle the cooked component with care; the contrast of textures is what makes street food sing.
- 3
Layer on the wet elements — chutneys, yogurt, gravies — generously; restraint is for restaurants.
- 4
Dust the spices from a height so they fall evenly, then bury it under the crunch.
- 5
Garnish with the pav bread rolls, a final dusting of chaat masala and serve within minutes, eating straight from the plate.
Chef's tip
Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
