Methods

For convenience’s sake, you can purchase the puri at the neighborhood market. You can preserve them for months because they are dry. However, it is easy to prepare from scratch. Roll out the dough into a small circle, mix in suji, plain floor, baking soda, a pinch of salt, and water until it is soft but firm. Fry in oil.

To fry the puri, heat up a deep frying pan with a cup or two of vegetable oil and add four or five pieces at a time (the exact amount depends on the diameter of your pan). The puri will inflate up into a shape resembling a table tennis ball when you pour the heated oil over it. After a few seconds, flip the puri and continue frying until it turns a light brown. Place the fried puri on a clean platter… Use a kitchen towel to soak up any extra oil.

Peel the potatoes after boiling them so you can use them to make fillings. Mash the potatoes in a bowl by hand. Combine chopped onions, chilies, cilantro, chaat masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder with a few cracked fried panipuri, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and a few good stirs. Soaked peas are also welcome.
