Home Made Pani Puri 😋 @mukeem03

Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried Green Peas (soaked overnight, drained)
• 3 cups Water (for cooking ragda)
• 2 medium Tomato (chopped)
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Red Chili Powder (adjust to heat preference)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Fresh Cilantro (Coriander) (packed leaves and tender stems)
• 2 Green Chili (seeded for less heat, optional)
• 1 inch Ginger (peeled)
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp Pani Puri Masala (store‑bought spice mix)
• 1 tsp Chaat Masala
• 1 cup Ice Cubes (to chill the pani)
• 12 Ready‑Made Puri (6‑inch diameter, store‑bought)
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil (neutral oil for deep frying)

Instructions

1. Cook Ragda

   In a medium saucepan combine the soaked peas, 3 cups water, turmeric, red chili powder and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until peas are very soft, about 15‑20 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer another 5 minutes.

   Time: PT20M

2. Make Cilantro‑Ginger Chutney

   Place cilantro, green chilies, ginger, lemon juice and ¼ cup water in a blender. Blend until smooth, then season with a pinch of salt.

   Time: PT5M

3. Prepare Pani (Spiced Water)

   In a large mixing bowl combine 4 cups cold water, pani puri masala, chaat masala, a pinch of salt, the cilantro‑ginger chutney and the ice cubes. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

   Time: PT5M

4. Fry Puri

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (180°C). Gently slide one puri into the oil; it should puff up within 20‑30 seconds. Flip once, then remove with a slotted spoon onto paper towels. Repeat with remaining puris, frying a few at a time.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

5. Assemble and Serve

   Make a small hole in the top of each fried puri. Spoon a little ragda into the cavity, add a drizzle of cilantro‑ginger chutney, then either dip the puri into the chilled pani or pour a spoonful of pani over it. Serve immediately while the puris are crisp.

   Time: PT5M
