Simple Dahi puri right here at home. Actually my Dad from Mysore sent some Panipoori's which we can fry right here at home just like any other fryums. It definitely is a sure shot way to ensure quality oil is used at home.
Its rather simple activity:
Ingredients
Puris - Fried & ready : about 20 nos.
Dahi (Curd / Yogurt) : 300 grams (ideally chilled)
Boiled Potato: 200 grams (mixed with a little salt)
Tomatoes, Finely chopped: 100 grams
Coriander, Finely chopped: A bunch
Nylon Sev (Fine Sev readily available from Halirams or the likes) - 200 grams
Garam Masala 1 tsp
Chaat Masala 2 tsp
Amchur Powder 1 tsp (Dried Mango power - Everest is the brand I trust)
Red Chilly Powder 1/2 tsp
Sugar - 3 tsp
Salt to Taste
Preparation (5 mins if Puris are ready, else 15 mins)
- Fry the puris and keep them on a kitchen tissue until they cool down (You get ready made puris in most grocery shops, but really not sure on the quality of oil used therein)
- Beat Dahi with Sugar for about 10 mins (add a little water if the dahi is not with pouring consistency)
- Break the Puris on the top and keep on the plate you want to serve
- Put a small quantity of Boiled potato and finely chopped tomatoes in each puri.
- Add a pinch of Garam Masala, Chaat Masala, Amchur Powder, Red Chilly Powder (careful here!) and salt into each puri.
- Sprinkle gracious amounts of chopped Coriander on each puri
- Now take the cold Dahi and fill each puri until it overflows
- Sprinkle Sev all over
- Sprinkle some Chilly powder and Amchur powder along with some Coriander.
Note: You can add some sweet chutney if you have it ready - makes it great.
Server immediately !
You can just cannot eat enough !
