Dabeli

Dabeli or kutchi dabeli is originated from kutch region in Gujarat. But now a days it is famous all over the country. How ever it should be khatti meethi but i put little chilli in it apart from the recipe ingredients as we North Indians like spicy food. So, we make all types of food  spicy with desi tadka.

My 15 months old son liked it so much that he ate so spicy dabeli today.  All my Gujarati friends might not like it as this is their daily routine and perhaps they make it more tastier than this one. But i didn't put this recipe after first trial. I made it so many times and when i got the perfect one today with home made dabeli  masala then i thought to put it on the blog. So guys you also try tasty and enjoy the very basic and easy recipe.
