Dabeli is a popular street food of India, originating in the Kutch region of Gujarat. Dabeli means Pressed in Gujarati language.

It is a spicy snack recipe made by mixing boiled potatoes with dabeli masala, chutneys, coconut, pomegranate, coriander, onion, peanuts and sev. This potato mixture stuffed in a bun and serves it with sauces. You can serve this bun as plain or saute with butter on tawa.
