Sev Puri in Gol Puri

Sev Puri is a popular street food in Mumbai and usually served in flat puris (or) round puris. I prefer using boiled, mashed potatoes, onion, tomatoes and coriander leaves. Sev Puris taste good if your chutneys are good. To prepare sev puris all you need is red sweet chutney, green spicy chutney, mashed potatoes, chopped tomatoes, onions and chopped coriander. Spice powder like chat masala and salt. You will also need nylon sev for garnishing.  Place puris or papdis over a dish. Place some mashed potatoes over each, put some chopped onion, tomatoes. Now put some green and sweet chutney. Sprinkle some sev, chat masala, coriander leaves, salt and squeeze some lime juice. Serve the sev puris immediately else it might get soggy and loose its crispy taste.
