Your local chaatwalla bhaiya ji can move over. Sev Puri dough is wrapped onto cones and fried till crispy and then stuffed with a chatpata Potato filling, with Chutney and topped with crispy Sev.
If youre familiar with Indian street food Sev Puri is a crispy flour disk, topped with a spicy potato mixture and topped with Sev, a cripsy noodle made with lentil flour. Typically the bhaiyaji or street vendor will prepare about 6 of these and serve these to you on a plate. Ive taken the same concept and instead of buying store bought puris, Ive made the dough and rolled them out larger to make cones.
