for Assembling

  • Thaw puff pastry as per directions on box. Use one sheet and keep other in refrigerator, till needed.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F or whatever are the directions on the box of puff pastry.
  • On parchment paper, put the pastry, put water in cracks and roll a little with rolling pin.
  • Spread Green chatni
  • Spread Meethi chatni

  • Roll the puff pastry as tightly as possible.
  • Brush with milk or egg(I used milk) and cut into 16 pieces.
  • Bake on a well oiled baking sheet till golden brown.

For freezing for later use

  • Spread pieces on a plate and put in freezer for some time. Once the pieces are firm, put in a container, spread wax paper and you can layer a second layer of dabeli twists on top. When ready to use frozen Dabeli twists,place on a well oiled baking sheet, and bake at 400 F till golden brown.
  • Serve topped with chopped onions, cilantro green chilies, more chopped peanuts and sev.

Notes

Always work with cold pastry, if it has been lying out for some time, put it in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes. Keep the pastry in the fridge till you get everything ready. After assembly, put back in the fridge for 10 minutes if dough has turned soft or sticky. This will help to cut into clean pieces.
