puri for panipuri  /making pani puri

This whole may month is vacation period for most of our kids and for me too it’s a relaxing week here at my mom’s place.Till these years I haven’t stayed long at my mom’s place.This time only my mom was very much pleased and happy that I was with her for longer days.During my last visit I did pani puri with puri for panipuri. It was a real hit everybody my brother,sil,kids and my amma loved it totally.I did it from scratch from making puri to pani of-course my sister-in-law helped in rolling and frying.This time again my brother’s son Sarvesh wished me to do puri for panipuri so that his mom can store it and give him whenever he craves for it.When I was about to finish the whole thing it started raining and it was a wonderful enjoyable evening all sitting together having heart filling pani puri snack.In restaurants the sweet chutney too is served diluted but it’s purely our wish and need.Some chat outlets serve with sev sprinkles!karaboondi too makes excellent match.You can add boiled black channa with potatoes but I have skipped adding it.Its a little bit of tedious work but its worth trying !making our own puri’s than getting it from outside.If you plan well in advance its a very engaging chat snack to relish at home.

Notes

Roll out thin and rolling should be even to get it crispy.
Even black channa is added along with potatoes it will also be good if you add it.
Instead of sev you can use boondhi also.
Sometimes sooji and salt alone with some oil is used to make panipuri's.
Always make stiff pliable dough to get crispy puri's.
Potatoes can be mashed or can be kept as boiled cubes.
sometimes sprouts also can be added.
