Let’s begin: How to make Panipuri with step by step photos

Making Pani/tangy water for Panipuri

Wash all the leaves (mint and cilantro) and green chilis, and blend them with some water into a fine paste.

Now remove the green paste from the blender and drain it by adding some water.
Remove the drained excess leaf and keep it aside for the potato mixer.
In a separate bowl add 4 tabs of tamarind pulp, mix the pulp with a cup of water and keep it aside.
Now its time to mix everything. In a large bowl add all the seasoning mentioned above, tamarind water, green water, and a cup of water at this time.

Mix very well, and check the seasoning. Add more seasoning if required.
If you want a thin pani you could add more water, but keep checking the seasoning as per your taste.

Note: It is always a good idea to prepare the pani first so you have time to chill it in the fridge. Adding ice cubes may dilute the taste and flavor of the pani.

Making Potato stuffing

I have boiled the potato and the brown gram with a tbsp of salt together. You can do the same or boil them separately.
In a large bowl, add boiled peeled potatoes and mash them with a help of a fork or a potato masher.

Now add the boiled brown gram and mix them.

It’s time to add all the seasoning mentioned above and the drained excess leaves paste (which we have left from the pani recipe). It is totally optional to add, but I found it enhances the taste of the potato filling.

Mix everything very well and taste it. If it requires more seasoning or you want to make it spicier. It’s totally up to you to make it as per your taste.

Here is everything assembled. Now its time to grab a bite to eat. Yaay!!

Serving this snack has a very unique way. Here are some tips: how we serve this snack-

Assemble everything (Pooris, potato filling, and tangy water) before you begin to make panipuri.
Crack the top of the Puri and stuff 1 or 2 tabs of potato filling.
Stir the green tangy water/pani and then add in the puri.
Serve the panipuri immediately.
