Dabeli literally means "pressed" in Gujarati language.[1] The dish is said to have been created by Keshavji Gabha Chudasama (also known as Kesha Malam), a resident of Mandvi-Kutch, in the 1960s. When he started business he sold dabeli at the price of one anna or six paisa. His shop is still there in Mandvi, run by a later generation of his family.[2] Today, dabeli masala made in the Kutch region are said to be most authentic.[3] Bhuj and Nakhatrana towns of Kutch are also known for authentic dabeli apart from Mandvi.[4]
Dabeli today is eaten not only in Kutch and Gujarat but also certain part of Maharashtra's Sangli, Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur also parts of Telangana, Karnataka, Rajasthan and other Indian states.[citation needed]
