#healthyjunior - This irresistible street food is to die for. They are best enjoyed as an evening snack. But to be honest they can be relished any time of the day. So here is my version of this all time favourite snack. The ingredients for the stuffing, sweet chutney and the pani puri water can be adjusted according to individual preference.
