Step 2: How to Make Puris

·

• Mix semolina, baking soda and salt in a wide mouth vessel. Now add warm water little by little to knead a stiff dough. The stiffness should be same as for the puris. Cover it with a fresh wrap and keep it aside for 10 mins.
• Now make small equal lemon sized balls of the dough. Do remember to keep them covered with fresh wrap while making more balls.
• Now with the help of some dry all purpose flour, roll out thin rotis. Cut them into round shape with the help of a round cookie cutter standard size 1.5’’.

Points to remember before frying :

• Always ensure that the oil is hot before frying otherwise the puris will soak in excess oil and will not puff. Put a small testing puri. If it comes up fast then the oil is rightly hot.
• Also the oil should not be smoking hot or the puris will get burnt and dark.
• Heat oil in a deep bottom pan and put 3 - 4 puris in the pan and fry them with the help of a slotted spoon.
• While frying, press them from the center and allow them to puff up. We want a pocket in each and every puri.
• Now flip them over and let them cook. Take them out on a kitchen towel when they are light brown and crisp. Don't let them get dark in color.

Step 3: How to Make Pani

• Grind in a hand blender cilantro, mint leaves and green chilies to make a fine paste.
• Mix the green paste , salt, black salt, cumin powder, tamarind pulp, and chaat masala into water.
• Adjust the spices and tanginess according to taste.
