Pani Puri

I enjoyed eating Pani Puri during the Annual Exhibitions
( That's the only place we get all North Indian Chats in my
town ).Later on I tried Pani Puri at home adopting from
Ms. Mallika Badrinath's recipe.But Lathamma
of The yum blog's recipe is very simple and easy to make too.
For the original recipe see here.

water to form a dough.Leave it for 15 min.Knead again and make big lemon

sized balls.Roll out the balls into big rounds.Stamp out 2 inch small rounds

using round cookie cutter.

Heat oil in a kadai.In a medium flame , fry few puris at a time.Press

slightly with the back of the laddle so that the puris puff up.Fry till golden

brown.

Serve the puris with pani and channa filling.
