Amazon Pani Puri

The world of Indian street food is vast, diverse, and delicious, but Pani Puri is the king. Whether you’re ordering it from a dubious vendor on a street corner or making a beeline towards the chaat stand at a wedding buffet, Pani Puri will rarely leave you disappointed.

You take one of these puris, press your thumb into one side (one side of the puri is always more fragile than the other, and a little experience will tell you which is which, so you can pierce the right side) to make a little opening, and then proceed to stuff the puri with one of several fillings. Then you ceremoniously dunk the puri into a spicy watery chutney and stuff the dripping puri into your mouth, where it explodes into a crispy-spicy treat.

It's really yummy. Unlike other places in India where they pour peas or channa inside each puri, in Mumbai, we pour aalu mixture. This aalu mixture is simply like a trip to heaven. Here we mix all the tikha and khatta masalas as well as channa and dhaniya.

How to serve: Take a crispy puri, make a hole in the middle with your thumb, pour in a bit of aloo mixture. Then dip the puri into the water mixture and serve it immediately.
