Share with friends and family

Sev Batata puri is one of the famous and sought after street food items from Bombay alongside BhelpuriPaani Puri and Pavbhaji .

 Sev (सेव) is deep fried string hoppers made using gram flour, Batata (बटाटा) in Marathi is potatoes and Puri or paapdi (पूरी / पापडी) are small deep fried discs made using All purpose flour / maida . . 

Well,not only is this famous in Bombay,it is also famous all over the Northern India popularly know as Paapri Chaat or Paapdi Chaat .  Though there is a slight difference in the chutneys used,  the end result is always too good to be put in words . With each bite you can feel an explosion of flavors and various tastes in your mouth which needs to be experienced and enjoyed :-)

 We can also make these discs using whole wheat flour .  For this recipe today,  I have used store bought puris which were made out of maida .

You can look up my video link  below to prepare whole wheat puris at home . I generally prefer to use a slightly spicy version of the puris as it adds up to the taste of the chaat .

If we have all the ingredients ready ,it hardly takes 15 mins to put this snack together else you will need about 1-  2 hrs to prepare the potato filling , chutneys, chopping of onions , tomatoes ,corriander etc.

Preparation Time - 1hr
Assembling Time - 5 mins
Serves - 2 
Complexity - Simple 

Ingredients 

14 puris / paapdi
2 medium sized potatoes boiled and mashed 
1/2 cup onion finely chopped  (skip for the No Onion No garlic version)
1/2 cup tomato finely chopped 
1/2 cup nylon sev 
Chat masala to sprinkle 
Finely chopped corriander for garnish 

Method 
  • Arrange 7 papdis each on 2 set of plates.
  • Season the boiled and mashed potatoes with some salt and red chilli powder and mix them well.
  • Place about 1/2 tsp of potato filling on each puri.
  • Place some onions and tomatoes over the potato filling.
  • Top the puris with 1/2 tsp each of dates tamarind chutney and green chutney. 
  • Sprinkle some chat masala and garnish with a lot of sev and finely chopped corriander. 
  • Delicious sev Batata puri is ready to be served.
Serving Suggestions/ Tips 
  • Keep all the ingredients ready before you start assembling the sev puri .
  • Serve it soon after assembling, else the puris will lose the crunch due to the chutney and the charm of biting into the crunch will be lost. 
  • You may also add some boiled whole moong beans or black channa (black chickpeas) to the potato mixture. 
  • You may add or reduce the amount of chutney you top up on the potato mixture depending on how spicy or mild you like the chaat to be .

  5. I am yearning to make this evergreen se batata papdi chaat. The tangy and sweet flavor of coriander chutney and tamarind chutney is a treat for our palate. Let's celebrate the monsoon season with such a chaat.
