Recipe:

To make pani:

Its completely depends on your taste how you like your pani….masala pani of course. Adjust spices and tanginess to taste. Strain through a wire strainer to remove any rough bits. (though its helps to clear your stomach.

Now  next mission is to make puri:

Cover  the dough with wet cloth for 15-20 minutes, Now you must be  thinking how to make that dough. so here is  the list guys :

Mix sooji, maida, baking soda, salt and enough water to knead a soft dough. It's totally depend on your mouth size ,how you are going to make your Fuchka balls, (Whether you are considering yourself as Mr. Khali Or as Miss. Shraddha Kapoor). Its preferred to make small sized balls.

Sprinkle  some dry maida or sooji and roll into thin rounds. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry puris till very light brown and crisp. Use a paper towel to get acne  free skin...guys just joking ...its not a beauty blog. Use paper towel to soak up excess oil from Fuchka. Once its cooled store it in an airtight container.

Please note: Being an Indian when you get something extra and even that for free, you feel happy So for your as well as for panipuri waala's mental satisfaction Never forget to ask for 'sukhi puri' after eating 'chat or pani puri' at 'pani puri wala'.
