Chutneys: Homemade chutneys add more flavor than store-bought ones. You can prepare them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
Mise en place: Ensure you have all the ingredients ready before assembling the dahi puri, as the chutneys can make the puri soggy.

Make it Vegan: Substitute dairy yogurt with alternatives such as plant-based yogurt, almond yogurt, or coconut yogurt for a vegan/dairy-free version.
