Sev Puri (Sev Batata Puri) is a popular Mumbai street food made with crispy flat puris topped with potatoes, onion, tomatoes, three types of chutneys, sev (gram flour noodles), and cilantro. This delicious bite-sized, Indian chaat snack is bursting with sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. It takes less than 10 mins to make and is perfect for evening snacks with tea or as appetizers for your next party!!
Make the red, green and sweet chutneys and keep them refrigerated until ready to use.
Make the spiced potato mixture - To the boiled and mashed potatoes, add ¼ teaspoon each of salt, red chili powder, roasted cumin powder, and chaat masala. Adjust spices to your taste. Mix until well combined. Keep aside.
Chop the onion, tomatoes, and cilantro and keep aside. Gather the rest of the ingredients - puri, sev, and spices.
To make sev puri
Arrange 7 puri's on a plate in a circle. I like to line my plate with parchment paper for that Mumbai street style feel (optional).
Over each puri, place the spiced potato mixture followed by onion, tomato, and sprinkle of chaat masala.
Drizzle red chutney, green chutney, and sweet chutney (over each puri). Adjust the chutneys to your taste. Usually red and green chutney are spicy so add less if you prefer less heat.
Sprinkle a generous amount of nylon sev.
Top with sprinkle of chaat masala, cilantro, raw mango pieces, pomegranate seeds, masala chana dal and finish off with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Delicious Mumbai sev puri is ready!! Serve immediately and enjoy!!

Notes
For authentic sev puri recipe, use flat puris and not the round pufffed ones used for pani puri. Also ensure the puris are fresh, crispy, and not rancid before plating.Use homemade chutneys, they add more flavor and personal touch compared to store-bought ones. You can easily make them in bulk and refrigerate or freeze them.Mash the potatoes while they are warm as it much easier and flavor them rather than using them just boiled for that added depth of flavor.This recipe comes together really quick once all the ingredients are ready so prep ahead and assemble just before serving for the best taste and experience.
