PaniPuri

Last week i made panipuri which is rarely available here. So i thought of preparing it at my home. For the first time i prepared panipuri at my home and the output is amazing. This pani puri reminded my college days, we used to eat street side panipuri. I got exact flavor at my home. And my husband really enjoyed it and i received many compliments from my hubby. Just go for a trial and receive compliments from your family members too…

Then add ginger garlic paste, turmeric, stir with spatula for 20 seconds. Now add green peas, smashed potato and stir well.

As soon as you place the puri in hot oil, press the puri in oil with back of the spatula slowly then it will rise more.
