- Add Potato Topping: Spoon a small amount of the seasoned potato mixture onto each puri, ensuring an even layer for balanced flavor.
- Drizzle Chutneys: Spoon green chutney, tamarind chutney, and optionally garlic chutney over the potatoes on each puri to add tanginess and spice.

- Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with chopped fresh coriander leaves. Serve the sev puris immediately to enjoy their crunchy texture and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Assemble sev puris just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- You can adjust the quantity of chutneys according to your taste preference for sweetness, tanginess, or spiciness.
- If garlic chutney is not available, you can omit it or substitute with a small amount of chili powder for heat.
- For a vegan version, ensure chutneys and sev do not contain any animal products.
