'Katchi Dabeli'
…..One more street food…….I think it's originally a Gujarat state's dish but got
vey famous in Maharashtra. It's a type
of sandwich. Khatta mitha and very tasty. When we were in Pune , we used to eat
it like anything. But after becoming
Bangalorean it has become difficult to
have one dabeli on any street in the rainy eve.
One of my friend Ruchi who used to stay in Pune in her college days
wanted to have Dabeli……so after
loooooooong planning we met yesterday and enjoyed homemade Dabeli. In Pune we used to get Special Amul butter and cheese dabeli. So I
tried making such type of Dabeli and it was yum. I used readymade 'Siddhi' Dabeli masala. But
I have masala recipe which one of my friend had given. I'm sharing that recipe
for those who don't get readymade one. For Bangalore people…..you can get Dabeli Masala in Total Mall.
