Dabeli Kutchi Style
Kutchi dabeli with sweet-spicy masala, pomegranate and peanuts pressed into a buttered bun. Chaotic in the best way: every bite hits a different note. Serve in paper plates for the full street experience.

Instructions
- 1
Set out everything mise-en-place: this is assembly food, and it moves fast once you start.
- 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
Finish with the pav bread rolls, one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.
Chef's tip
Assemble at the last possible second or the crunch dies.
