What is dahi puri?

If you’re unfamiliar, dahi puri is a beloved street food that holds a special place in North Indian cuisine. This delightful dish is known for its perfect combination of textures and flavours.

Its core features crispy, hollow puris filled with ingredients, including spiced mashed potatoes, boiled chickpeas, and creamy yoghurt. These are further elevated with an array of spicy, sweet, and tangy chutneys. It is often topped with sev and garnished with coriander.
