Boiled potato – 1, chopped into cubes
Cooked Channa – 1/2 cup
Sweet chutney – As needed
Boondi – As needed
Onion (optional) – 1
Chopped coriander leaves (Optional) – As needed for serving
Method
- Grind the clean mint, coriander leaves, chilli, ginger with little water smoothly.
- Extract tamarind juice by soaking it in hot water for 15 minutes. In a mixing bowl, place the rest of the ingredients, add the extracted tamarind juice. The total water added should be 3 cups. Adjust salt as needed.
- Mix well and filter if needed. Keep refrigerated until use. Add few boondi just before serving.
- Keep all the ingredients gathered for making pani puri. Break the puri on top (thin side) by poking it with your finger. Add potato, channa to it.
- Add chopped onion and coriander leaves if desired followed by sweet chutney. Fill it with the prepared pani and serve/ pop in you mouth.





Notes
- I have given cooking time 20 mins for potato and channa, considering all the other ingredients needed ready. For cooking channa, u need to soak overnight.
- Black salt gives the perfect flavor needed for the pani, so do not skip it, if not make sure to add chaat masala, which had a lots of it.
- Add salt carefully as we are adding both kala namak and chaat masala previously.The stuffing can be of your choice. Several items that can be stuffed in the puri are – boiled white channa, boiled green peas, boiled green gram (moong) sprouts, boiled mixed sprouts etc. green peas best if forgoten to soak or sprout legumes.
- The puri will be strong one side and thin one side, keep the strong side bottom and poke over the thin side so that the puri could hold the stuffing and pani for eating.
- Mint is more and coriander is less in the recipe.
- If adding lemon juice, just squeeze the lemon and add 3 cups water in step 2.
- If adding lemon, make sure its a large one with lots of juice, if not, use as needed. If tanginess is not balance, then the green smell of the mint and coriander will be over powering.
- Instead of boondi, you can add sev too.
You can arrange the puris in a plate ready just before serving with the fillings ready and give the pani separately so that the people who eat just dip and fill the pani in the puri and pop in their mouth or spoon the pani in the puris then and there and eat it, as per their preference. Give them a small bowl like the below ones.

You are right, Raks! I always check your site if I am trying anything new just to see if you have any tips...as your recipe always works! I am a bit sad you did not add the date-tamarind chutney recipe also. I have tried to do that in the past for other chat recipes..and the color was totally off from what we get in store. Maybe because of the light colored dates I used? So I came to see that in your blog and you did not have it! Please make the date/sweet chutney too so we can do a reference :)
