Puri for Paani Puri

These puri's are used to make different chat items such as Paani Puri or Golgappa, Sev Puri, Masala Puri, Dahi Puri, Dahi Papdi Chat, Tikki Puri etc. This is a round puffed dough balls fried crisp and served with varieties of fillings. I always prefer to make Puri's for chats at home instead of buying from store. Many of my friends say that the puri's prepared by them become softer once it cool down. I feel if a correct measurement is taken to prepare a puri's then we will get absolutely a good result. You can store these puri's in a air tight container and can prepare the dishes of your choice whenever you feel like having.
