Dahi Puri/ Dahi Puchka

 Dahi puri is an Indian snack which is especially popular in the state of Maharastra.  The dish is a form of chaat. It is served in mini-puris. In Kolkata it is called dahi puchka. Puchka means golgappa. I always have puchka when I go to Kolkata. It is my favorite. Sometimes I prepare it for small parties at my place as a snack. Its really mouthwatering.
