'''Dabeli''', '''Kutchi Dabeli''' or '''Double Roti''' ({{Langx|gu|દાબેલી, કચ્છી દાબેલી}}, [[Devanagari]]: दाबेली, कच्छी दाबेली), is a popular [[snack food]] of [[India]], originating in [[Mandvi]], in the [[Kutch]] region of [[Gujarat]]. It is a spicy, sweet snack made by mixing boiled potatoes with a special dabeli [[Spice mix#Masala|masala]], putting the mixture in a ''ladi pav'' (similar to a [[burger bun]]), and serving it with [[chutney]]s made from tamarind, date, garlic, red chilies and other ingredients. It is garnished with pomegranate and roasted peanuts.<br />
<br />
''Dabeli'' literally means "pressed" in [[Gujarati language]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/plc/gujarati/guj-engdictionary.pdf|title=Gujarati- English Learner's Dictionary}}</ref> The dish is said to have been created by Keshavji Gabha Chudasama (also known as Kesha Malam), a resident of Mandvi, Kutch, in the 1960s. When he started business he sold dabeli at the price of one ''[[Anna (monetary subunit)|anna]]'' or six ''[[paisa]]''. His shop is still open in Mandvi, run by a later generation of his family.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://whatscookingindia.com/kacchi-dabeli-recipe-dabeli-recipe-dabeli-masala-recipe/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191106171146/http://whatscookingindia.com/kacchi-dabeli-recipe-dabeli-recipe-dabeli-masala-recipe/|url-status=usurped|archive-date=November 6, 2019|title = Kacchi Dabeli Recipe &#124; Easy Dabeli Recipe in 40 Minutes| date=6 November 2019 }}</ref> Today, dabeli masala made in the Kutch region are said to be most authentic.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dabeli: Its Origin And Journey To Maharashtra |url=https://www.slurrp.com/article/dabeli-history-behind-its-origin-and-its-journey-to-maharashtra-1635926451331 |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=www.slurrp.com}}</ref> Aside from Mandvi, the towns of [[Bhuj]] and [[Nakhatrana]] in the Kutch region are also known for authentic dabeli.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dabeli: Its Origin And Journey To Maharashtra |url=https://www.slurrp.com/article/dabeli-history-behind-its-origin-and-its-journey-to-maharashtra-1635926451331 |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=www.slurrp.com}}</ref><br />
