Pani Puri

Pani puris are a great snack, served as chaat and a popular street food all over India. They are served filled with spicy water, chickpeas and potatoes. Makes about 60 puris.

Pani Puri

Ingredients

Pani (Spicy Water):

  • 1 cup mint leaves Pudina
  • 2 to 4 green chilies adjust to taste
  • 3 Tbsp tamarind paste Imli
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp black salt
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ tsp ginger powder
  • ⅛ tsp asafetida Hing
  • 1 Tbsp roasted cumin seed powder
  • 1 Tbsp sugar adjust to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 cup water adjust to taste

Puris:

  • ¼ cup All Purpose flour Maida or Plain Flour
  • ¾ cup fine Sooji Semolina Flour
  • ½ cup water as needed

Instructions

Pani (Spicy Water):

  • Blend everything except the water together to make a fine paste. While blending, add water as needed to blend.
  • Taste to adjust the green chilies as they can be mild or hot. Add more lemon juice, sugar, and salt as needed to your desired taste. Remember you will be adding more water to dilute so paste should be spicier. Strain the paste using water as needed.
  • After straining mix the paste with remaining water or adjusting to the taste.
  • The pani (water) will taste best if refrigerated for a day.

To make Puris:

  • Mix the flour and sooji. Add water as needed to make firm dough. Knead the dough until it is pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth for about ten minutes.
  • Damp two kitchen towels, spread one damp towel over a cookie sheet or plain surface, close to where you are going to fry the puris.
  • Divide the dough into about 60 small balls. Keep them under a damp cloth.
  • Start rolling each ball to about a 2-inch diameter circle. Place over a damp towel and cover with another damp towel. Do this for all 60 puris. TIP: Placing the puris between damp cloths helps the puris to puff evenly on all sides.
  • Heat the oil on medium high heat. Oil should be about 1 1/2 inch high in frying pan. To test the oil, put a little piece of dough in the oil. The oil is ready if the dough comes up right away and does not change color.
  • Start frying the puris, starting first with the puri you first rolled.
  • Put one puri in the oil and press lightly. When it puffs turn over and put another puri in the oil. Keep adding six to eight puris at a time. Fry the puris until they are golden-brown all around by turning a few times. You may adjust the heat as needed while frying.
  • Take the puris out and place over paper towel, so the excess oil is absorbed. TIP: When taking the puris out of the frying pan, make sure to tilt the skimmer so that the excess oil is drained before placing on the paper towel.
  • Fry all the puris. They should be crisp and puff like a ball.

Notes

Serving Suggestions
  • Pani puris are served by making a small hole in each puri. Fill the puris with boiled and chopped potatoes, or boiled chickpeas.
  • Finish by filling each puri with the spicy pani (water). Enjoy!

Pani Puri Recipe: The Ultimate Guide to Making Delicious Pani Puris

Introduction to Pani Puri


Pani Puri, also known as golgappa or phuchka, is a beloved Indian street food famous for its burst of flavors and crunchy texture. This pani puri recipe encapsulates the essence of Indian culinary tradition, offering a delightful mix of tangy, spicy, and sweet flavors. Perfect for gatherings, parties, or simply as a snack, making pani puri at home is a rewarding experience that brings friends and family together.

How to Make Pani Puri: Step-by-Step Guide


Preparing the Puris


To start this recipe for pani puri, you’ll need puris, which are hollow, crispy semolina or wheat spheres. You can either make them at home or purchase them from a store. If making at home, mix semolina or wheat flour with water and knead into a firm dough. Roll out small circles and deep fry until golden brown. Set aside to cool.

Preparing the Pani


The pani puri is incomplete without its signature spicy and tangy water. In a blender, combine mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger, tamarind pulp, black salt, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture and dilute it with water according to taste. Chill the pani in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Preparing the Filling


For the filling, boil potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them. Add boiled chickpeas, and a dash of chaat masala for extra flavor. Mix well and set aside.

Assembling the Pani Puris


Now comes the fun part! Take each puri and gently make a hole in the center, creating a cavity for the filling. Stuff the puris with the potato mixture and arrange them on a serving plate. Pour the chilled pani into each puri using a small spoon or a pani puri maker, ensuring they’re filled to the brim.

Garnishing and Serving


Garnish the pani puris with a drizzle of sweet tamarind chutney and a sprinkle of sev (crunchy chickpea flour noodles) for added texture. Serve immediately to enjoy the burst of flavors and textures in every bite.

Tips for Perfect Pani Puris

Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh mint, coriander, and tamarind for the pani to enhance the flavor.

Chilling Time: Allow the pani to chill for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.

Crunchy Puris: Ensure the puris are crispy and hollow to hold the filling and pani without getting soggy.

Variations of Pani Puri 

Ragda Pani Puri: Replace the potato filling with ragda (spicy chickpea curry) for a heartier version.

Fruit Pani Puri: Experiment with filling options like diced mango, pomegranate seeds, or grated pineapple for a fruity twist.

Sukha Puri: Skip the pani and serve the stuffed puris with sweet tamarind chutney and spicy mint chutney for a dry version.

Benefits of Pani Puri

Rich in Flavor: Pani puri offers a medley of flavors, from spicy and tangy to sweet and savory.

Customizable: You can adjust the spice level and filling according to your preference, making it suitable for all taste buds.

Social Experience: Making and enjoying pani puri with friends and family fosters bonding and creates lasting memories.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)


Q: Can I make the puris ahead of time?


A: Yes, you can prepare the puris in advance and store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Q: How spicy should the pani be?


A: The spice level of the pani can be adjusted according to your preference. Start with fewer green chilies and add more if desired.

Q: Can I make a healthier version of pani puri?


A: Yes, you can opt for baked puris and use less oil in the filling to make a healthier version of pani puri.

I have only one concern that almost all puris came out crispy, while some remained soft from the topmost part of the puris. What could be the reason?

    I made puris according to the recipe. After frying all of them, some puris were lil soft, so I put all the puris in the oven at lowest setting for an hour and they became nice and crisp. But when I served them yesterday, the puris were hard. What went wrong?

      Sudha
      May 6, 2011 at 2:40 pm

      Hi Mary,
      The oven removed all the moisture making it very hard. First of all the dough should be stiff. Secondly the puris are to be cooked slowly in medium fire roughly for about a minute. My puris turned out nice and crispy. Hope this helps….sudha

    Sannia,
    It might be easier to look up the info yourself – it might take a lot of extra work and effort and slow Manjula down to have to post everything in metric and in US conversions and it might confuse a lot of her readers as well.
    Here is a conversion website where you can get this info – I hope this helps.

    I tried it and came out really really well… the first time I tried using the same recipe of yours was a super flop, then I knew what went wrong…So after necessary corrections it came out really well.. Thanks…

    For Lazy and impatient ppl like me: Instead of making tiny balls and rolling them one by one, u can roll the entire dough into a thin sheet and then take a small sized cup and get the puris …this way its easier and u get even shaped puris…

    To be honest Manjula Aunty is the best… 🙂

      becoz i made puris and none of them puffed
      please guide me i love pani puri but it never puffs
      if possible give me measurements in grams
      thanks

        March 8, 2010 at 3:10 pm

        Dear ladyburd,

        If you follow step by step instruction and do not rush into it, I am sure they will turnout ok. Do not miss any step and incuding laying them on a moist clothe and also covering them with moist clothe. all the time keep them coverd. As soon as you drop them in low to medium hotoil press them with spoon during frying process untill they poff up and slip out from under the spoon.

    Manjula Aunty,

    I love to cook and I have been cooking since I was very young. I am always looking for new and better recipes, and I must say that your recipes are really wonderful. I have tried quite a few things from your website and they all turned out perfect. I want to especially thank you for Pani Puri and Khasta Kachori, I have tried numerous recipes from other people and cookbooks, but they never worked very well. When I tried your recipes I was truly amazed at how nice everything came out. Thanks for sharing your recipes and techniques.

      you can double at the same time and use the roti maker. But if you are doing more then double, make the dough but dont role all at the same time,

    Hi Manjulaji,

    Thanks for your recipes. I have tried quite a few of them. All work very well. Many thanks to you!

    I do have a question.. I tried the pani puri twice. The 1st time, by the time I finished rolling the puris they got completely stuck to the cloth under them. I just could not pry them away to fry. I managed to only fry the most recently rolled ones which had not yet gotten completely stuck to them cloth. They puffed up nicely… but the rest I had to just throw. The 2nd time I used less water in the dough and I also used an aluminum foil under the puris while rolling (and damp cloth on top). Even then they got stuck to the foil. However I was able to twist and turn the foil and pull the puris away to fry. I managed to get abt 1/3rd of the lot to fry and puff nicely (perfect they were).. 1/3 remained flat.. 1/3 I burnt! 😀 The good ones were really good!!

    Next time I would like to get this a little better.. I could try the following: 1) Keep butter paper (parchment paper) under the puris.. maybe they will not stick to that? and damp cloth on top. 2) and/or.. another option is to only roll a few at a time.. and then fry and then roll few more and fry.. perhaps that way they will not have enough time to stick to the bottom? The drawback of this is having to reheat oil multiple times.. that may not be great for the nutritional value of oil. 3) I am afraid to make the dough too dry.. because if it is too dry it may not puff. Lets see.. I could try that also!

    I would appreciate if you could provide any further suggestions!!

      SS
      November 12, 2009 at 4:02 am

      Hi Manjulaji,

      I tried it again. Parchment paper underneath and a little lesser water in making the dough worked out pretty decent. Got 80% puris to puff right and none burnt. Thanks! 🙂

      Best regards!

    Dear Manjulaji,
    I have tried many recipes for puris, your’s is by far the best and your videos make it very easy to follow. However I made them this time (using tortilla maker) as always and half did not puff. The heat was on medium, some that I rolled by hand didn’t puff either.
    Please advice.

    Thx
    Biji

      Manjula Jain
      October 4, 2009 at 5:08 pm

      Hi Biji,
      Whwn you are frying the puries heat should be on medium high. Oil has to be hot puri to be puff. I dont use tortilla maker because some reason it absorb more oil.

    I tried your recipe for “pani puri” last week. We are very happy with results and enjoyed lotzzz of pani puries with the roadside taste. Well, this recipe didnt afarid like other recipes except one problem that some of the puries were not as hard like the other ones, they were as soft like puries, Could you please give me some tips explaining the troubleshooting….
    Overall I am very much satisfied with the outcomes..
    With thanks and will appreciate your efforts!!!!!!!!!!

      April 21, 2009 at 10:19 pm

      Hi Dalbir,
      the only reason puris are soft, heat got to high in between or you did not fry them long enough.

      Hello Auntie Jee,

      I tried your puri recipe yesterday, but mine didn’t puff up. I followed your recipe exactly and watched you demo many many times. Can you please tell me what I did wrong? I really want to learn how to make these puris. I love watching you, keep up the good work!

        Hi Aliya,
        Lets see where you can go wrong may be you rolled them too thin, or heat was very low when you put the puri in oil it should sizzle, or puri after rolling got dry before frying.

    Hi Manjula Aunty, Thanks for your wonderful recipes. Pani for this recipe came out amazing but I had problem with the puris. They puffed well in round balls and I left it on paper towel too. But after sometime I noticed they went soft and I could find no way to make them crisp again. Can you help and tell me where I went wrong?? Much appreciated.

        Your question is a little confusing. Would mint and coriander chutney be 40% of the mixture and water 60%? Any spices?

        Best thing is to just try it and see what happens.

    Instead of rolling them one by one we can roll it once big in diameter and then use a round shape, sharp mould or some bottle cover and press and make 20 puris or may be more at a time.That saves a lot of time.

    Dear Manjulaji,

    Nowadays, we are regularly watching many of your recipes, trying them & enjoying them. Thank you for your recipes. In preparing Pani Puris, we have a suggestion which you may try & suggest to others also. Instead of pressing small puris individually, we may press one big puri & then use a small lid to cut them into small puris to save time & energy. You keep presenting new recipes, we contineu watching. Thank you.

    Hi Jyoti.

    most important thing is ur dough shud be very well knead .

    also dont try to make the puris very thin and too small.

    this will only make it difficult to roll properly, as a result it will not puff up.

    when i tried to roll them thin and small, half of the puris became papadi.

    But when i rolled them a little bigger and a little thicker 90% puffed up.
    it hardly makes any difference ……..they were also crispy.
    U should be able to roll them comfortably.

    You will usually use the regular sooji, also called fine sooji.

    The coarse sooji is used for dishes like “upma”.

    Black salt (which ironically is more pink in color) has a flavor that is unique and although it can be omitted, once you start using it you will appreciate the flavor it brings out in the dish. It’s worth trying to find.

    Some Chinese/Asian grocery stores do carry Indian supplies so it’s always work a check.

    If you cannot find hing or black salt, search the web for an Indian grocery store that does mail orders to get your supplies.

    Things like hing and black salt keep well for a long time in an airtight glass jar in the cupboard or dark, dry place.

    Put your sooji into an airtight glass jar too. Only keep it in the plastic package if you will use it fairly quickly – like within a couple of months.

    1) Sooji is “semolina”. You could probably use Cream of Wheat or Farina is sooji is unavailable.

    2) Asafeotida is “hing” in Hindi. I don’t know if you know Hindi but any Indian grocer will know what hing is. You use just a tiny pinch of it.

    Dear Monica,
    Many Indian grocery stores also do mail order. Go on-line and search out some of these stores. You’re missing too many important ingredients and these are “dry” ingredients so they can be mailed easily without concern for spoilage.

    Jaya
    August 10, 2008 at 7:13 am

    Hi Nafisa,
    My first thought is that either the oil was too hot. Despite reducing the heat, it may not have cooled down enough before continuing your cooking. Another thought is the puri dough was too dry. There needs to be enough moisture in the dough to create steam to puff the puris.

    Aunty may have other suggestions, but these were the ones that came to my mind. Hope it goes better for you next time. 🙂

    Hi Manjula Aunty,

    I ‘ve tried your pani puri receipt. The pani turned out just fine, but i dont know what went wrong with the dough? Somehow the puris wont puff, they go golden brown instead, and remain flat. They also become very crispy.

    I’ve tried using thinner,thicker,smaller,and larger puris. I even tried reducing the heat of the frying pan. But nothing works.. 🙁

    Please help me :((

    July 24, 2008 at 8:31 am

    Hi Tam, a tortilla press or “puri belan” in Hindi is great IF it is well made.
    I had the misfortune of purchasing one that pressed the puris unevenly – too thick on one side and too thin on the other so I couldn’t use it. If it presses the puri evenly, then the press is good and you can have a second person help – even if they’re not a cook. They can press the puris while you fry them.

    Just make sure your dough is rolled into a round ball, place it in the middle of the press, and apply pressure. They should come out perfectly round. You may need to keep a thin layer of oil on the press if the dough sticks. The puris should still puff up fine.

    Hi,

    I have a query :-
    if we use a chappati presser or tortilla presser instead of rolling each one of them.Will that work well in terms of puffing up & shape of the puri??

    July 22, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    Hello Rothrock, you are doing better, next time try one more thing as you put puri in the oil press the whole puri with the skimmer or spetulla and turn over.

    Jaya
    July 22, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    Only in a perfect world does every puri puff up! But it sounds like you did well. Thanks for the temperature measurement. That’s something I’ve thought of doing but never got around to purchasing the themometer. You just reminded me!

    Some of the half puffs can be because of small cracks in the puri. Once the air escapes, no more puffing. That’s a more likely explanation than how you rolled them.

    Rothrock
    July 22, 2008 at 7:09 pm

    Okay, second try and it came out better. Out of the recipe I got 32 good ones that seem crisp and puffed all the way up. I haven’t tried them, but the non-puffs are much crisper than the last batch. For those who don’t have the touch yet, I had a thermometer in the oil and if I kept it around 350-370 F (175 – 190 C) that seemed to work well.

    This time I had far fewer no-puffs. But many of them kind of half-puffed. Could that be that they weren’t rolled out evenly enough?

    At this rate I might be good at this in a year or two! Thanks for all the help.

    Jaya
    July 21, 2008 at 11:34 am

    Hi Rothrock,
    Good for you for trying! Frying things like puris improves with experience. You start to better understand how to tweak the stove temperature up or down depending on if the puris are frying (ie browning) too fast or too slow.
    I always factor in some “test” puris – the ones that usually are cooked in the beginning before you know if the oil is too hot or too cold. Those usually get put aside and not served. Then there are puris that turn out perfect and you have no idea why they did and the others didn’t. Who knows? But it’s fun to keep trying. 🙂

    Rothrock
    July 21, 2008 at 8:49 am

    I wanted to serve paani puris to my family at our big family gathering. The grocery stores (4 of them!) didn’t have any prepared puris. I found your video and it helped me to try them.

    About half of them didn’t puff and about half the ones that did puff weren’t crispy enough. After reading the responses here I think I might have had the oil to hot and not fried them quite long enough.

    Over all you gave me the confidence to try and I think it wasn’t a bad outcome for my first time. Not bad for a gora’s first try. I will try it again — I still have 5 days until our family dinner. Thanks you very much.

    Hello Sujatha, may be you did not fry them long enough, or heat was too high, or you coverd them while they were still not to the room temprature.

    I made raj kachori by adding 1 more tablespoon of maida to the existing measurement as mentioned by aunty & 1 teaspoon red chilli pwdr in the dough.The raj kachori shells came out awesome !!!Stuffing is of your choice n taste.Try it.
    Happy cooking 🙂

    Hi Tam,
    Just wanted to share my that if pooris are not khasta you can pop them in the oven for a while and it really helps.
    Thanks a lot for your comment I really appreciate it.

    Hi Tam,
    Making puris the “old-fashioned” way of rolling them individually is still the best. Using cut-outs is a second option if rolling the puris into rounds is not going well.
    I’m sure we’ve all made rotis/puris that look like the map of India!
    Happy Cooking 🙂

    Hi Jaya & Shehla,
    I have already tried doing the way as suggested using a bottle’s round cap & cutter.They came out well & puffed too BUT they didnt remain crispy/khasta after a while.Whereas the rolled ones remained crispy the next day as well.
    Also,it doesnt help much in saving time bcos we roll out bigger portion of dough ,cut it into puris & redo the process with remaining dough.

    Just wanted to share my experiance .Hope its of some help !!
    Happy Cooking !!
    🙂

    Hi Shela, I have done it this way before, I just use a kathori or large drinking glass. The shape is perfect and they should fry as normal and puff, but with practice it’s actually quicker to pinch off pieces of dough and quickly roll them out individually.
    Good Luck

    Dear Aunty,
    I have a question regarding the pooris,can we roll a big roti and then cut small puris with a circular mould?
    Will there be a difference in the texture and puffiness on frying?I think it will be quicker.
    Thanks a million.

    Hi Manjula ji,
    Thanks aloot for your guidance. I had no idea that the dough effects puris smooth texture. It was sooo sweet of you to let me know of my mistake.
    Tried again n it was perfect this time.
    You make things so simple for us that otherwise won’t be that easy.
    Many thanks n best wishes for u n this gr8 website!!

    Dear Manjula Aunty,
    Why do you make your puri with maida and sooji instead of whole wheat flour?
    I am asking because maida and sooji for puri is not familiar to me. I usually use whole wheat “atta” for all my roti without even thinking about it.

    Thank you for your advice.

    Hi Ashuu, make sure puries are fried to light brown color. Keep puries out till they come to room temrature before putting in container. There is no other reason for puries to ger soft.

    Hello Bhavika, pani puri can be stored for a month or more. I like to keep them in brown bags puri stays really good and fresh.

    Hi Anna,
    How was the dough if it was soft there is chance that puris will have blistered.

    Hello Manjula ji!
    Love your cooking. Thanks alot for this long awaited recipe.
    Tried it n it came out really really good except for one mistake that i made somewhere.

    The outer skin wasn’t as smooth as was yours. It was rather blistered. Can you plz guide me how to make their surface smooth.

    All the best for this wonderful website.

    Dear Manjula ji
    i m really thankful to u for all the recipes u have shared with us. I am fond of cooking and love to cook new dishes. I was trying to find out the recipe of pani puri and cottage cheese and this is only u who has helped me out. I tried yr rasgullas, pani puri and many other recipes and they all turned out gr8. My 5 years old son “Raahim” loves u and always sits beside me watching u when I visit yr website.(Actually the reason why he loves u is that u look very much like my mother.)
    i will b looking forward for yr new recipes. Thank u once again and God bless u.
