Dahi Puri..............the famous chat item, which is also a Mumbai street food, is the one which soothes everybody's palates..........be it kids or be it adults, I  have not come across anyone  who does not like this...the crunchy puris, filled with the benign probiotic yogurt inside, with some spice powders,the whole  taste accentuated with the spicy and sweet chutneys.....this is really a superb snack or main meal, however you wish.....we can serve it as a starter too before a lunch or dinner.
Please see here for the green chutney and here for the  sweet chutney. If you want to make the green chutney without onions, please refer bhelpuri, wherein I have illustrated this.

Notes
*We can use cooked green gram also instead of kabuli channa. Some protein added, that's all.
