Dabeli, kutchi dabeli or double roti (Gujarati: દાબેલી, કચ્છી દાબેલી, Devanagari: दाबेली, कच्छी दाबेली), is a popular snack food of India, originating in the Mandvi-Kutch, Gujarat region. It is a spicy yet sweet snack made by mixing boiled potatoes with a special dabeli masala, putting the mixture in a ladi pav (similar to a burger bun), and serving it with chutneys made from tamarind, date, garlic, red chilies and other ingredients. It is garnished with pomegranate and roasted peanuts.
Dabeli literally means "pressed" in Gujarati language.[1] The dish is said to have been created by Mohanbhai Nathbava, a resident of Mandvi-Kutch, in the 1960s. When he started business he sold dabeli at the price of one anna or six [[pai[2] Today, dabeli masala made in the Kutch region are said to be most authentic.[3] Bhuj and Nakhatrana towns of Kutch are also known for authentic dabeli apart from Mandvi.[4]
