Easy Pani Puri Water

You need to be adept at putting a puri full of liquid into your mouth without spilling anything. Then let the delicious flavour swill around your mouth and descend down your throat, filling you with joy that just can’t be described. Pani puris are available today in a ready made form in most shops. What goes into it could be two or three different liquid concoctions. Here’s an easy recipe that is an all-in-one which my sister tried and recommended.

1 bunch mint leavers (pudina)

1 bunch coriander leaves (kothmir)

Juice of 8 limes

¼ kg jaggery

1 litre water

½” piece ginger

2 tsp roasted cumminseed (jeera)

1 long green chilli

1 tsp black salt (kala namak)

Salt to taste

Mix lime juice, water and jaggery and keep aside. Grind all the other ingredients in a mixer with a little water, then out the ground mixture ion the fire and switch off the flame when it begins to boil. Add the lime juice jaggery mixture to it, strain the whole thing, refrigerate till it is cold and use as the water to fill into pani puris.

Puri filling: Before you fill the water, you can put in mashed potato and boondi, steamed sprouts, boiled channa, etc.
