You can use this to make a lip-smacking Panipuri recipe, which is a popular street food of India. It contains Poori- stuffed with Potato-chickpea masala, tamarind chutney, and drenched in spiced flavored chilled water. This bursting with flavored puri ball now goes straight into the mouth, hitting the taste buds with crispy, sweet, crunchy, tangy, spicy all flavors together. It is just irresistible!!!

I have used sooji(semolina), Maida(all-purpose flour), Aata (whole wheat flour), salt, water, and oil for frying.

Tips and Tricks to make No fail Puri for Panipuri Recipe : 

  • Be precise with measurements of Ingredients.
  • The consistency of the dough is the key-point.
  • If your dough is too dry, puris will not puff up.
  • If your dough is too soft, puris will not get a nice crunch.
  • Do not flip puris until you get a brown crust on the first side. Otherwise, puris will lose the crunch.
  • Oil should be medium hot.
  • If your dough gets dried out, gradually add water in small quantities and knead into a soft dough.
  • Add one puri at a time and press it down. If you add all puris together, they will not puff up nicely.
  • You can roll one by one puri as well. For that pinch-out lemon size ball and roll into a round / oval puri.
  • If puris are thick, they will not get that nice crunch and later on will get soggy.
  • For perfect puris, practice it required. So Don’t lose heart and keep practicing!!

What to do if puri doesn’t puff up?

If your puri doesn’t puff up for some reason, then don’t worry. The taste is still good and is edible. Use that Puri (papdi) in some of the chat recipes like Sev puri, bhel puri, chaat, etc. recipes.

Why do I prefer to make puri for panipuri at home from scratch?

Puri for panipuri is readily available in the market in India. They are great in taste, but sometimes they are not fresh, soggy, and broken too. Also, you don’t know what quality of oil and ingredients. Some stores keep ready to fry puri. But I do not prefer it. It tastes like fryums, which is a big no!!

Storing:

Always store the puri in an airtight container. It should not be in contact with any moisture, because puri will lose its crispiness. It stays fresh for up to 2 weeks.

You can also use the same puri to make Dahi Puri, Sev puri, Ragda puri, or bhel puri recipes. I also like to eat this puri by making Sukha Puri(masala puri) at the end.
