North Indian Pani Puri
About North Indian Pani Puri
Street food is all about roaming with family or friends. People often overlook hygiene and simply enjoy the ready-made food or drinks. These foods are sold by hawkers, vendors, mobile food carts, or dhabas along highways. You can either take the food with you or enjoy it immediately on the spot. Pani Puri is a popular category of street food, known by many names such as golgappa, batashe, phuchka, ghupchup, and Pani Puri, among others. Different regions have their own methods and variations, and it can vary from state to state.Sometimes, family members like kids or elderly people may not be able to go out and enjoy street food due to its spiciness or lack of hygiene. However, they also want to experience the taste of street food. In such cases, you can enjoy Pani Puri at home with your family. There are different types of flavored water that you can serve, like mint water (pudina Pani), tamarind water (imli Pani), jal jeera, pomegranate water, hing jeera, watermelon juice, carom water, lemon water, buttermilk, dates and jaggery water (sweet), raw mango water, orange juice, garlic water, ginger water, and guava juice.I made four types of water, with the main attractions being raw mango, roasted cumin, asafoetida, green chilies, mint leaves, and coriander leaves. The other waters are to add variety to the taste. The puris should be freshly made, and boiled white peas are used as a filling. Simply take a puri, prick it with your thumb, fill it with a little boiled white peas, dip it in the water of your choice—whether sweet or spicy—and enjoy as much as you like.

Instructions
- Making puri can be a bit challenging. Start by taking a mixing bowl and adding semolina, refined flour, baking soda, salt, refined oil, vinegar, and water. Knead the mixture into a smooth dough.
- Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion out with a rolling pin, then use a glass with sharp edges to cut out round shapes. This will ensure all the puris are the same size.
- Heat oil in a wok, and once the oil is hot, gently add the puris one by one.
- Once the puris are golden and crispy, take them out and place them on paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
- Prepare different types of flavored water by adding the ingredients mentioned earlier (See Notes). Serve each with a unique flavor and taste. Enjoy the Pani Puri with your choice of water for a delightful experience.
