🥗Healthier: baked sev

Baked sev reduces oil content while maintaining crunch.

In a medium hot pan, add coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dry red chillies, cinnamon sticks, cloves and roast till fragrant. Once roasted, add asafoetida and turn the flame off. Transfer the roasted masala to another container and let it cool to room temperature. After 10-12 minutes grind these spices finely.

Take the soaked red chillies, garlic and salt and grind it to a smooth paste initially and then add water to make a thick paste. Once grinded, transfer the paste to a bowl and thin it down as required by adding water.

Take water in a pan and add in sugar, tamarind pulp and let it cook for 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, allow it to cool down to room temperature.

In the same pan heat some oil and add in the Dabeli Spice Mix and stir on a medium flame and add boiled mashed potatoes and mix it well. Add salt as required and then add water. Allow this cook for 2-3 minutes on moderate flame and transfer it to a plate and flatten it. Garnish with tutti frutti, coconut shavings, coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds.

Add some oil, Dabeli Spice Mix and sugar to roasted potatoes and mix it well. Add salt as required.

Slice the Bun-Pav so as to create a cavity in it. Then stuff this cavity with sweet chutney, chilli-garlic chutney, mashed potatoes mix, onions and masala peanuts. Heat a pan and roast the Dabeli with butter till crisp on both the sides. Take the hot Dabeli and dip it into the Sev and serve on a plate with pomegranate seeds and masala peanuts.
