Pani for Pani Puri


            I remember the Pani Puri stalls along the street of Mumbai. But here in Netherlands there are no stalls. Here we don't even get pani puri anywhere. & I crave for pani puri every now & then. So I tried making pani puri myself. & Voila it satisfies my cravings. It is really mouthwatering.




Ingredients:
  • Mint Leaves
  • Coriander Leaves
  • green chillies
  • Pani puri Masala
  • Black Salt
  • Red Chili Powder
  • lemon juice
  • Boiled Chopped Potato
  • Boiled Sprouted Moong
  • Tamarind Chutney
  • Puris
  • Boondis - Optional
  • ginger 1 inch
Method:
  • Mix mashed boiled potato with boiled sprouted Moong. Add black salt & red chilli powder to it. Mix & keep it aside. This is your filling for the pani puri
  • In a mixie grind 1 cup mint leaves, 1 cup coriander leaves, ginger & 4 - 5 green chillies. Add some water to help in grinding.
  • Once it is ground, remove it in a bowl. Add to it 2 tbsp.(or more) pani puri masala, black salt to taste, red chilli powder & some lemon juice to it. Mix well. Add 2 cups of water & some ice cubes to it. Serve chilled.
  • Take a puri. Make a hole in the puri. Add a spoonful of potato filling to it. Add 1/2 tsp of tamarind chutney & the chilled mint water to it. Pop it in your mouth & Enjoy !!


Tips:
  • You can adjust the proportion of chutneys according to your taste.
  • Just keep the pani in refrigerator for atleast 4 hours or more to enhance its taste.
  • Add boondi to the pani for added flavors.
  • Instead of "boiled potatoes & moong", you can use "boiled whites peas with turmeric & salt" as stuffing. It tastes equally awesome.
