Pani Puri / Golgappa Recipe | How to make Pani Puri

I like pani puri mainly for the burst of different flavours - spicy, tangy, sweet and yummy.

Puri Recipe – Ingredients

·         Maida(fine wheat flour) - 1/4 cup

·         Semolina (Rava / Sooji) - 2 cup

·         Baking Soda - 1/4 tsp

·         Salt - as required

·         Oil - to deep fry

How to make puri:

·       Combine sooji, baking soda and salt, add lukewarm water little by little to make a stiff dough like how we make for puris. Now Mix Maida stiff the dough again . Cover dough with muslin wet cloth.

·         Allow it to rest for at least 30mins.

·      Knead the dough once again and pinch equal sized lemon sized balls. Using the chapathi roller, roll out thin rotis and cut with a lid or cookie cutter(you may can use bottle lid as I used J) as a small round puris.

·      Heat oil in a kadai(it shouldn’t be piping hot) slide 3-4 puris at a time and roll to give oval shape and using the laddle press in the center and along the edges to make the puris puff up.

·       Flip over to other side and cook to golden brown on both sides. Drain in a tissue paper. Cool and store in an air tight container (at least after 3-4 hours) and use when required.

How to make pani:

·         Onion - 1 chopped finely

·      chutney Mint - 2 tbsp

·        Chutney Sweet (tamarind chutney) - 2 tbsp

·         Salt - for taste

How to make aloo mixture ( to be filled into puri)

·         Mash the boiled potatoes,mix chopped onion,turmeric, chilli powder, 2tsp of jaljeera/pani of pani puris and salt, Keep aside.

My Notes:

·         You can use sprouted green gram too instead if cooked green gram.

·         You can use boiled white matar as I used.

·         Resting the dough is very important is making the puris perfect. You can store them in airtight container  for about a month and use it when required.
