                            Dabeli

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you all my favourite dish- Dabeli. It is also known as Kutchi Dabeli or Double roti. It is a very famous dish of Gujarat. One can find it in most of the places of Gujarat. It has its origin in Mandvi, a city in kutch region of Gujarat. Even today dabeli masala made in mandvi has the most authentic taste. Thefore dabeli is also known as Kutchi Dabeli. Bhuj and Nakhatrana other towns of kutch which are very close from my village (Nagalpar) are also famous for authentic taste of dabeli apart from Mandvi.

The main ingredient for making dabeli is Dabeli masala. It is available in most of the cities of India. It sold under different brand names. The most preferred masala by people is the masala made in Mandvi and Bhuj because of its taste and ethnicity. We also can find Suhana kutchi dabeli masala or even Badshah dabeli masala, but I would suggest u all to use the masala which is made in Mandvi or kutch to enjoy it's real taste. After using the dabeli masala the remaining masala can be stored in the fridge for upto 6-12 months.

Another important ingredient is chutney. This chutney is made up of dates and tamarind. All we need to do is soak dates and tamarind in warm water for 15-20 minutes, than make paste of it. After that take kadhai, add 2 tbsp oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, hing, curry leaves. After few seconds add the paste and some water. Than add some red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and salt. And the delicious chutney is ready.

Other ingredients include- bread, boiled potatoes, sev, pomegranate, chopped onions(2-3), peanuts.
Preparation
1. Heat 2 tbsp oil, put dabeli masala. Mash the boiled potatoes. Mix it well. Cook it on a medium flame, keep stirring continuously for 2 minutes.
2. Add chutney in the bread and then put the mixture of boiled potatoes and dabeli masala.
3. Add chopped onions, pomegranates, peanuts and sev
4. Take a pan, add some oil and fry it.
