NOTES
1: instead of the red garlic chutney you can also use mint coriander chutney. 2: dabeli masala powder is easily
available in the indian metros. so you could use ready dabeli masala. 3:other variation is to add pav bhaji masala
instead of dabeli masala. the dabeli will still taste good. 4: lastly to add more spice, add spiced or masala peanuts
instead of plain peanuts.
