RE: Pani Puri Recipe

Pani Puri is an Indian snack dish. Easy way is to buy the puri part in any Indian grocery store. It is usually behind the cash register. It is around $2.99 for 20 or 25 of them. In addition, you can buy the pani puri mixture water at the same store. Follow the instructions on the box for the water mix. Boil a medium potato and have some chickpeas handy as well. Dice the potatoes and mix it with chickpeas. Make a small hole in the puri, spoon in the chickpeas and potato mixture. Dunk the puris in the water mixture and eat. Enjoy it. (02/12/2009)
