Pani Puri :
Pani puris..!!
They are the main reason I go to school , there are tonnz of pani puri shops nearby.
This addictive chaat originated in the South Bihar region. I hope that much of knowledge is enough , I don't want to bore anyone with history.
Pani puri stalls are famous and have widely spread all over India , yes outside India too.
The best part of pani puri is that you could never be in a state when you can tell these off.
Even if you're hungry , thirsty , frustrated , exhausted , or even if you've just had your meal you will always have some space for a plate of pani puri by the street.!!
The Making :
It has the least complicated recipe of all the chaat items.
The puris , pani and the stuffing are the important part. Once these three are properly handled anyone can make mouth watering pani puris.!!
When it comes to the puris only one thing define the perfect puri , it has to be crispy..yes CRISPY so at all cost avoid the roadside pani puris during the rain.
The pani(pani is a hindi word for water) is made of mint and tamarind water.
This is what differentiates a healthy pani puri from a disease causing one.
The water used needn't be mineral water but it must be drinking water and definitely not tap water. Most of the pani puri vendors in those carts use these type of water.
So think twice before you eat pani puri at their place.
Always opt for specialized chat shops.
And then the last part the stuffing , this one is pretty simple. It is made up of mashed potatoes along with some onions and chaat masala, chilli powder , black salt.
The puris are taken and a hole is made in it's top.
Through that hole the stuffing and the pani is being poured and there you have, my boy, the famous , tasty, addictive, cool PANI PURIS..!!
See to it you gobble them up as soon as possible the pani won't be lasting in your hands for a long time.
The Sweet Pani :
Some shops give a red coloured sweet pani along with the traditional green coloured pani.
Actually there are shops in the North India where they give up to seven different panis.!!
Any ways let's get back to the easily available red coloured pani. It is just sugar syrup with added colours. It amplifies the taste of the pani puri a hundred times. The mix of the sweet and the sour minty taste is not at all matchable. Your taste buds will bless you for doing that.! Good luck trying, champ.!
The Ill Pani Puris :
Let me talk about the pani puris that really don't taste that good. As I have mentioned above never buy puris that are not crispy it's just a waste of money. And the first in the list comes to those pani puris which come with a ketchup in it.!!
Seriously I know shops that sell horrible pani puris with ketchups and sauces in it , mint chutneys and etc are okay.
But ketchups aren't..!
Please stop westernising INDIAN STREET FOOD..!
PLEASE..!!
The Presentation :
In 90% of the place you go one plate of pani puri consist of six pani puris arranged in order along with the pani in a separate small cup. The stuffing have already been stuffed inside , all you got to do is pour the pani into the puri and gobble it up as fast as possible.!
The Pani Puri Cart:
Pani puris are also sold in carts.
Here the guy does the job of pouring the pani and stuffing for you and all you have to do is gobble it up.!!
It is cheaper than the chaat shops.
But the downside is they are not that healthy so see to it you don't eat them often.
The best part of these shops is you can eat as much as you want and pay for it at the end , there is no fixed amount, the guy will be filling up the puris and giving it to you as long you tell him to stop, provided he will keep you informed every time one plate is over.
Try this---> Take a friend with you and you can play this game with him. You both go to a pani puri cart and start a pani puri battle and see who eats the most number of pani puris.
The one who looses pays. It's a really fun thing to do..!!
Do try.!!
So that's it about pani puris , guys.!!
