Have you ever tasted Dabeli on streets of Mumbai . If you have, you will agree it is one of the best street food. It is originally a Gujarati dish but very popular as street food in mumbai.
I had lot of leftover Pav's (thanks to Costco for it's size :) ) , so thought of preparing this dish. I remember when I was pregnant I had always carving for Dabeli, but there was Dabeli Masala recipe that time and it was not available in any Indian stores ..so my craving for it lasted. One day Sanjeev Kapoor posted the masala recipe on his website and Bingo it turned out perfect. Thanks a lot Sanjeevji for posting the masala recipe for many Indians like us who stay away from India and crave to eat the food from there.
