My favourite food moment is to see lovely light brown rounds puffing to bob on the surface of oil – in my language its a perfect QTOL moment. Just one of those things in life that make it so deliciously happy :).
And so when this rather random party of absolute puri mania seemed to take over the blogosphere, I just couldn’t resist. Better late than never? But then this post isn’t really a delayed entry but its more of a celebration of the beauty called puris that Anita wants us all to enjoy.
Under normal circumstances I would have woven an elaborate tale around such first time experimentation – but since the protagonist in this case happens to be “Pani Puri” I shall leave the pictures to do the talking. I took my amma’s recipe (and updated her post with pics 🙂 ) to make these for the first time on Saturday for dinner (yes dinner, for once fried and dinner had to go together).
You’ll have to make do with mobile phone camera pics – these crunchy beauties looked far more tastier in person :D.
The Awesome Puris
How I ate them
How Satish devoured them – curd is somehow indispendable for him, so every dish is served with “dahi”

are pani pooris made the same way as pooris? no right? nice pics.
thanks sharmi. frying the puris is not different but the dough is – rava, maida and wheat flour in 1:1:1 ratio. i have linked to recipe in the post.

I love pani pooris… one of my fav Bombay-street-foods.
i know – bbay pani puri walahs just rock, but did you know that hawking has been banned by the mumbai mahanagr palika? on my last visit to bbay i couldn’t spot a single roadside stall – esp near churchgate. 😦

Took a min to understand. These are actually pani puris. Yay! Abt that dictionary, we are far ahead, I say 🙂
yep, lovely little pani puris. somehow their small size makes frying them even more delightful. spell cheking software everywhere definitely needs a good lexicon update, they’re like so ancient!!! 😀

Cute little pooris. Perfectly made.
thanks SeeC, :).

naughty indeed :). thanks bee.
Latha, the puris are looking puffed and crisp. I will try your recipe next time. Pani puri is my weakness. I can eat it daily yet never get tired of it.
Latha. I made idlis according to your recipe (boiled rice ).They were feather lite and the dosa with the same batter were crisp.Best of all for the first time the batter stayed fresh for 4 days. Normally on second day it used to go flat 🙂
I followed your tips 🙂
I want to make mysore pak but cannot as we cannot consume so much ghee ( doctor advised ) :D))) So I will have be happy looking at the picture 🙂
archana, welcome to world of soft idlis, i joined the league last weekend, when i used my grinder to make the batter for the first time. do try the pani puri recipe, if a novice like me can get it right the first time, you’ll definitely end up with yummy beauties as well. lakshmi.
will check the pictures later its taking time to load :0
Roopa, sometimes the net is slow. I too face such problems. latha.
Lovely puris Latha. Viji
