Pani Puri - A Family Favourite!

Get ready to embark on a flavour-packed journey with Chohans Spice! We're about to dive into the art of making the perfect Pani Puri, a snack that's not just a treat for your taste buds but also a celebration of textures and colors. So, roll up your sleeves and let's create magic together!

Step 1: Puri Perfection

Start by heating things up – literally! Fry Chohans Puri until they puff up like little flavor-filled balloons. Gently turn them in the hot oil for a few seconds, and once they're golden delights, let them cool. Now, for the fun part – tap the puri with the back of a spoon to create a hole, a gateway for all the deliciousness that's about to follow. Keep these beauties safe in an airtight container until showtime!

Step 2: Aamlie Adventure

Our Aamlie water is where the tangy tales begin. Soak 3 tablespoons of red Aamlie(tamarind) in warm water for 10 minutes. Strain away the ordinary and season the liquid gold with a pinch of salt and a dollop of Chohans Green Chilli paste. Get ready for a flavour explosion!

Step 3: Minty Madness

Let's whip up some minty freshness! Grind a handful of mint and dhania(coriander) leaves with 2 tsp lemon juice and water. Season the vibrant green goodness with salt and pepper. It's like a minty dance party for your taste buds!

Step 4: Aloo Fiesta

Time to mash and mingle! Cube your potatoes, boil them till they're as soft as a pillow, and then gently mash them. Add a tin of channa(chick peas), a spoonful of green chilli paste, and a sprinkle of chopped dhannia. Season it all with a dash of salt, and your aloo filling is ready to steal the show!

Assembly Extravaganza

Now, let's bring it all together in a symphony of flavors. Spoon a teaspoon of your aloo mixture into the waiting puri. Pour over the "pani" – a delightful blend of Aamlie water and minty freshness. Sprinkle some sev for that perfect crunch, add a burst of pomegranates for sweetness, and if you're feeling adventurous, throw in some chopped red onions for an extra flavor kick.

There you have it – a Pani Puri masterpiece by Chohans Spice! Get ready to savor the explosion of flavors and textures in every bite. This isn't just a snack; it's a celebration of taste, and you're invited to the party!
