Shev Puri Recipe

-


Shev Puri is a popular Indian street food made with crispy puris topped with potatoes, chutneys, onions, and sev. It is tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet.

Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

For the topping:

  • 20–25 crispy puris (golgappa puri)

  • 2 medium boiled potatoes (peeled and chopped)

  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)

  • 1 small tomato (finely chopped, optional)

  • ½ cup nylon sev

  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh coriander (chopped)

  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala

  • ½ teaspoon roasted cumin powder

  • Salt to taste

Chutneys:

  • ½ cup green chutney (coriander, mint, green chilli, lemon, salt)

  • ½ cup tamarind–date chutney (imli chutney, sweet and tangy)

Preparation Steps

  1. Prepare the puris:
    Arrange the puris on a plate. Gently crack a small hole on the top of each puri using your thumb or a spoon.

  2. Add the potato filling:
    Place about 1–2 teaspoons of chopped boiled potatoes into each puri. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of salt, chaat masala, and roasted cumin powder over the potatoes for flavor.

  3. Add onions and tomatoes:
    Top each puri with a little chopped onion and tomato. If you prefer a more authentic Mumbai street-style taste, you can skip tomatoes.

  4. Add chutneys:
    Spoon a small amount of green chutney and tamarind chutney over each puri. Adjust the quantity depending on how spicy or sweet you like your shev puri.

  5. Top with sev:
    Generously sprinkle nylon sev over the puris. This gives the dish its classic crunch and flavor.

  6. Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle chopped coriander on top and add a pinch of chaat masala for extra tanginess. Serve immediately so the puris remain crisp.

Tips for Best Taste

  • Always assemble shev puri just before serving; otherwise the puris become soggy.

  • You can add boiled white chana or sprouted moong for a healthier version.

  • A squeeze of lemon juice enhances the flavor.

Shev puri is perfect as an evening snack, party starter, or light street-style treat at home. If you like, I can also give you a quick recipe for homemade green chutney and tamarind chutney used in chaat.
