Shev Batata Puri


Hello dearies, So are you ready with the 2 chutneys that we made earlier. Great, now we are set to make the shev batata poori and the en-number of tasty chaats and mouth watering treats by mixing and changing few ingredients. We will make bhel, pani poori and even dahi ragda poori in the coming posts. so now lets get started. A quick recap of the 2 star chutneys before we get to making shev batat poori.

You will need;
2-cups of fresh washed cilantro leaves
1 cup Fresh Mint leaves
2-3 green chilies
2 tspn jeera/cumin seeds
Salt to taste
1 Tbspn Lime Juice
2 Tbspn oil
water as needed for grinding into a thick paste

In a grinder/food processor take all of the above cilantro, chili, cumin, lime juice and salt and take little water enough to grind it into a thick paste, grind it and when storing add the oil and mix well. The oil along with the lime juice prevents the cilantro from turning black and increases the shelf life. Store in a refrigerator, it would stay good for about 7-10 days.

You will need;
1 cup dates soaked in 1/2 cup water
2tbspn tamarind Concnetrate-Tamicon
1 cup water

Salt to taste

Grind the soaked dates and the tamarind pulp together to get a nice smooth mixture. Take this mixture mixed with 1 cup water in a deep saucepan, and heat over medium, to this add the jaggery, the cumin powder and the cayenne powder and salt, Keep Stirring till the mixture gets coked and sticky and starts to gather and froth near the spoon. The Chutney is ready. Switch off the stove and cool down. Once cool, fill in the sterile glass jar and store in a refrigerator.

You will need;
 Boiled poato, mashed
onion finely chopped

Yummy chat ! I'm a big chat fan.......papri chat, aloo tikki chat, chana chat , you name it. Especially in Ramadan, I love making chats for iftar (breaking of the fast meal). It's a spicy treat for tastebuds after fasting the entire day.

Superb Ash Taai... :)
Few suggestions(as a true chaat lover)
1)Along with the green and the tamarind Chutney, one can also make paste of Garlic, red chilli powder and shev. Just grind this into fine paste and add water to lessen the concentrate and salt to taste. This can make it even more tastier.

2)The flat puris can be used instead of puffed ones.

3) We can add grated beet and raw mangoes in their season to enhance the flavor.

Thanks all, your comment means the world to me, thanks for the comment.
@ Manasi,Thanks again ga, you are a true darling watching out for me. my Spell gaurdian angel aahes in true sense
@ Mana,point noted, next time I make pani poori, , would definately include this tikka red chutney and will hunt for green mangoes now, the beets are raw or boiled, let me know.

Manashri said...

@Ash taai: this teekha chutney was to add on this shev batata poori and not in pani poori. The beet should be raw and grated. :)

Nothing of my innovations , just minute observations of the Chaat I happen to eat everywhere :P

Also last tip, sprinkle salt on the served shev-batata pooris and some drops of lemon juice.! It would definately taste awesome!! :) *mouth waters*
