Panipuri
Panipuri… do I need to describe it more? The word itself is the world for street-food lovers ;) I miss those days back in India!!! And having roadside panipuris was a weekly affair for me, sometimes more than 2 days a week too… Well yes, that hectic IT job never used to give me time during weekdays… but weekends, aahhhh… I never missed to explore roadside panipuri stalls in the city, specially in the suburb where I lived all these years :)
Just like kavah, I had panipuri with pretty much all wonderful buddies… And a few were very special in this case! HP was all time partner.. Quite like-minded in case of eating panipuris at roadside stall ;) “Are you free for a while?” was the only question I used to ask her on weekend evenings and that’s it… No further questions! Starting activa, moving around the streets and landing up at some good stall (yes, less-crowded for sure) was so much fun. I’m sure I won’t get those days again…
Just after the engagement, I took KG for a ride and asked him if he would join me in panipuris?! He said yes (knowing that I love it) and goshhhhh… I won’t ever make him eat on roadside :( Let me change my statement… He won’t let me eat on roadside :P He was sick for 2-3 days and then I never got to eat outside!!!
I love Ragdewali Panipuri too… But ‘Aloo-Chana’ stuffing in its simplest form works the best and I recently made it, with store-bough puris though :(
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Chickpeas, pressure-cooked
2 Potatoes, boiled
2 tsp Mint Paste
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Salt
1 tsp Cumin Powder, roasted
1/2 tsp Red chilly powder (optional)
- Mix all these ingredients together and mash them well.
- Keep in refrigerator (covered) for sometime and use!!!
Don’t miss to check out my Pani for Panipuri recipe too!
One of my absolute favourites!
did you eat it at Falguni’s? so sophisticated way to serve panipuri? doya ma kanu and then serve it, i said i cant eat this hugenic pani, need a stall where gatar is near and then bhaiya’s black hand and nails full of stuffing, that pani puri you eat and dont feel sick that’s the beauty. Me and my friend go for walk before diner and have some panipuri and at dinner , i am not hungry raag, seriously i missed all this, now he wont even let me eat outside food for 15 days and rest 15 days are not enough to try everything.
Hahaha… that’s true! same is the case here… The only thing is, I’m not allowed to eat it on roadside throughout the trip :P But yes, have had those hygienic ones too.. a long back though ;)
looks awesome <3
Roadside panipuri is very famous in Kolkata. But after seeing your recipe i will try it at home………:)
You call it Puchka, right? I never had it so great if you can tell me the difference… I would love to try out :)
