Prepare the Dabeli Masala

Lightly roast cumin powder, cinnamon, red chili powder, and coriander powder together in a pan until fragrant; set aside for later use.

Make the Potato Filling

In a saucepan, heat oil and add boiled mashed potatoes with hing, cumin powder, salt, and the prepared Dabeli masala; mix well.

Form Patties

Once the potato mixture is well combined and slightly softened, shape it into six equal patties for easy stuffing later.

Toast the Pao

On a tawa (griddle), toast soft white pao with butter until golden brown; this adds flavor and enhances texture for the Dabeli.

Assemble the Dabeli

Split open the toasted pao and generously spread garlic chutney and date-tamarind chutney inside before adding the potato patties.

Add Toppings

Top the stuffed pao with chopped onions, pomegranate seeds, toasted peanuts, chopped coriander leaves, and sev for extra crunch.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the assembled Dabeli immediately while warm; enjoy this delicious blend of flavors and textures as a satisfying snack!
