I love pani puri, I can live on it. Before my marriage, eating pani puri was almost a daily ritual. My place had one of the best pani puri stalls and carts.
However after marriage, the place i got shifted to, the pani puri never tasted like the ones i tasted at home. I always binged on it when i went to my mom's house.
And then one fine day my mom left that house and shifted someplace else.
My love for pani puri remained.
I took matters in my own hand and after a lot of trial and errors i found the perfect pani puri receipe, especially the one with Ragda in it.

You can always skip the Ragda and use boiled potatoes or boiled sprouted moong or even khari boondi soaked in water but ragda tastes heavenly.

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the peas for a minimum 4 hrs. Or over night. Wash the peas, put it in a pressure cooker and add water which just covers the peas in it, not more. Add salt and turmeric. Keep on low flame for 4 to 5 whistles. The consistency should be rounded peas but soft and mashable and water should be almost drier up.

  2. 2

    In a pan take oil, add curry leaves and 1 green chilli slited, roast till the flavours r infused. Remove from the oil and discard add jeera powder. Add the peas, saute for few mins once mixed properly and u see little bubbles of water, switch off gas. If the peas have a lot of water, you can keep the water aside, and u can squeeze some lemon and add rock salt and black pepper, it tastes delicious. If the mix is totally dry, sprinkle little water. Ragada is done.

  3. 3

    Soak the tamarind in water, if u want to fasten the process, keep in microwave for short period of 15 secs. Keep an eye as it splutters a lot, keep in a big bowl to avoid mess. Cool. Discard the seeds and pass through a sieve, you will get a thick syrup. Add more water to get more flavour out of it.

  4. 4

    Run the dates through a mixie and make a paste out of it by adding little water. Mix the dates in the tamarind. Keep on gas stove. Add the jaggery in it. Add black pepper and rock salt as per taste. Keep it little thick. Add lime juice if u need more sourness in it. Tamarind and Date Chutney is done

  5. 5

    Run the chillies in the mixie, keep aside, use water to make thick paste.

  6. 6

    Run coriander, mint, ginger and garlic in the mixie. Make paste out of it. Take an ice cube tray and a big vessel. Empty ice in it. Add the green chutney in it. Add water, almost 1.5 ltrs depending upon coriander flavour. Add chilli paste as per ur taste, little at a time. Add regular salt. Taste. Add more chilli or salt if needed. Green chutney water is done.

  7. 7

    Assemble everything together and enjoy with store bought or homemade puris
