The first time I had Kutchi Dabeli at a street food stall in Ahmedabad. The combination of flavours and textures was so unique and addictive that I was hooked from the very first bite. Since then, I’ve been experimenting with different variations of this recipe, and I’m thrilled to share my version with you. So, go ahead and give it a try – I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as I do!
