Kachchhi Dabeli

Kachchhi Dabeli is a gujrati snack and very famous street food. It is commonly found in Gujrat and Maharashtra, especially Mumbai. I like the sweet n' spicy taste of it.
My childhood friend, my best friend, is Gujrati and we always had Dabeli that her mom made. We hogged on it whenever she made it. I miss those childhood days where we played all day without eating and celebrating something involved buying a chocolate from a store and eating it together. So I decided to try making the Dabeli for the old times sake.
In India we find Dabeli Masala easily. but I didn't have it on me when I decided to make it on a rainy evening. I made the masala from scratch and it turned out really good. It actually tasted like the one my best friend's mom made.
