Vegan Sev Puri

Sev Puri is a vibrant, iconic Indian street snack: crisp flat puri shells topped with spiced potatoes, tangy chickpeas, layered with fresh herbs, sweet‑sour date‑tamarind chutney, zesty mint chutney, and finished with a generous pile of thin, crispy sev noodles. This fully vegan version keeps the perfect balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and salty flavours, plus that wonderful mix of soft, juicy, and ultra‑crisp textures — fresh, colourful, and utterly addictive.
