Notes
Prepare all the ingredients before you start preparing dahi batata puri. The recipe comes together quickly if it is all ready.
Adding diced onions, boiled peas (ragda) and tomatoes works in the recipe too.
Make the chutneys before hand and chill the yogurt. These are essential elements of the chaat.
Make yogurt that is pourable yet not too thin. Dilute it with some water if required.
Enjoy the chaat as soon as it is ready. The puri will get soggy quickly.
Ensure the puris are intact when you start. The ones with holes at the bottom will leak all the filling before enjoying.
To set the same as a DIY station; prepare the filling, chutneys and seasoned yogurt. Place in individual containers and let each person make their mix.
