Dahi puri is made by filling small, crispy, hollow puri shells with a mixture of boiled potatoes, chickpeas, onions, and a tangy tamarind chutney. The puri shells are then topped with a dollop of smooth and creamy yogurt, which gives the dish its name “dahi” puri (dahi means yogurt in Hindi).
Finally, the dish is garnished with a sprinkle of spices such as cumin powder, chaat masala, and chilli powder, as well as fresh coriander leaves.
The combination of sweet and tangy chutney, spicy chili powder, and cool yogurt creates a unique flavor profile that is both refreshing and satisfying. Dahi puri is often enjoyed as a light snack or appetizer, and is a popular dish at Indian festivals and gatherings.
