Pani Puri

Pani Puri or Golgappa is everyone's favourite snack which drools out mouth by the imagination. This is a North Indian Snack as well as street food where "pani" means water(mixed with different flavours) and Puri is a round fried dough balls fried crisp and golden. In Mumbai people call it as Pani Puri and other parts of the North India people call as Golgappa's. These are made with variety of fillings such as Chickpeas, Moong Sprouts, Onion, Green Peas, Potatoes and so on. I like the filling of Boiled potato and onion. I have given the recipe of same here. I have used home made puri's to prepare Golgappa. You can also check the recipe of Home made Puri's in my blog.
