How to make pani puri at home ?

Pani puri

Panipuri, a delightful street food in India, is widely enjoyed and goes by various names such as gol gappa or puchka. I have a homemade recipe to share with you for preparing panipuri.

Ingredients:

For the puri:

1 cup fine semolina (sooji or rava)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (maida)

2 tbsp oil

Salt, to taste

Water, as needed

For the filling:

1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes

1/2 cup boiled and shelled chickpeas (chana)

1/4 cup finely chopped onions

1/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes

1/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves

1/4 tsp red chili powder

1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder

Salt, to taste

For the sweet and tangy water:

2 cups water

1/4 cup tamarind paste

2 tbsp jaggery (gur)

1 tsp black salt

1 tsp roasted cumin powder

1 tsp red chili powder

Instructions:

To make the puri, combine the semolina, all-purpose flour, oil, and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually incorporate water into the mixture and knead it until you achieve a smooth and firm dough. Afterward, cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  • Next, take small portions of dough and roll them into small puri.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan and deep fry the puri until they puff up and turn golden brown. 
  • Place the fried items on paper towels to remove any excess oil and keep them aside.
  • To make the filling, combine the boiled potatoes, chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • To make the sweet and tangy water, combine water, tamarind paste, jaggery, black salt, cumin powder, and red chili powder in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • To assemble the panipuri, make a small hole on the top of each puri using your thumb.
  • Fill each puri with a spoonful of the filling mixture, and pour some sweet and tangy water over the filling.
  • Serve the panipuri right away and savor the delightful combination of crispy shells, tangy flavors, and spicy goodness.

Note: you can adjust the amount of sweet, tangy and spicy as per your taste. You can also add mint chutney or tamarind chutney for additional flavor.

Hope you enjoy making and eating the panipuri at your home.
