Pani puri is a popular street food in India. Here is a recipe for making it:
Ingredients:
For the puri:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup water
For the filling:
1 cup boiled and mashed potato
1/2 cup boiled and mashed chickpeas
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
Salt, to taste
For the pani:
1 cup water
1/4 cup tamarind paste
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 dried red chili peppers
1/4 teaspoon chaat masala
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
To make the puri, mix together the flour, salt, and oil in a bowl. Add the water and mix until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough and set it aside to rest for at least 30 minutes.
To make the filling, mix together the potato, chickpeas, onion, tomato, cilantro, chaat masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt in a bowl.
To make the pani, blend together the water, tamarind paste, mint leaves, cilantro, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, dried red chili peppers, chaat masala, salt, and sugar in a blender until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and refrigerate until ready to use.
To assemble the pani puri, roll out the dough into small, thin circles and use a cookie cutter or small glass to cut out circles.
Heat a pan with oil over medium heat. Carefully place the dough circles in the hot oil and fry them until they are crisp and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the puris from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel.
To serve, make a small hole in the center of each puri with your thumb. Fill the puri with a spoonful of the filling mixture and pour some pani over the top. Serve the pani puri immediately. Enjoy!
