PURI for Pani Puri - Indian Chat Recipe

[japjiify]

can we use yeast ?



[jyoti06may]

What should I use as an alternative to plastic wrapping for the dough??

[ritachandrakant]

let me say this if u have a roti maker ..that works wonders for making puris,just make small-small rolls n flatten it on roti maker ...make sure the roti maker is not much hot..

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ritachandrakant : Thanks for sharing that tip :)

[sal21423]

my puris don't puff up what am I doing wrong?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sal21423 : Key to making good puris: evenly rolled out puris and the oil temperature.

[sweetbabe533]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shafreenalovely : We use Canola Oil. You can use that or Vegetable Oil.

[drsksvet]

thank u sooooo much . I have been tried a lot to make pani puri but never got the success ,but now i can thanx again

[neeluajay]

I tried your recipe very carefully, even the parts about frying the puris long enough to remove all moisture and later putting them in the oven at 200 degrees to make them really crispy. However, all that hard work and the puris are not crisp at all!

I'm really disappointed!

[islandgirls9]

man i still cant make puri ...im mrry wif a indian man i can cook curry but the only thing i cant make it puri i just cant get it right

....i need ur help

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@islandgirls9 : Key to making good puris: evenly rolled out puris and the oil temperature.

[mestaroftheworld]

@islandgirls9 i would say to make them poof up leave em alil thicker when thin they turn out ot be like a roti so dont do tat i made mines right now i hope they turn out to be good so lets seee :D lol best of luck i hope mines is crispy thats all im worried about best of luck

[theneo188]

@islandgirls9 - Its easy.. just follow the step from videos..

[MsKurru]

Recipe is worth trying. I find Anuja very unpresentable. Got to see more from Hetal in this recipe. Thats good.

[ngeorge87]

Hi ladies,

I'm Indo-Guyanese so I'm not familiar with some of the Indian ingredients. What is sooji?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ngeorge87

Sooji is semolina or cream of wheat.

[smchatt]

Do these puris stay crisp over a couple of days? Can these be made in advance and stored in airtight containers for a couple of days or so? Or do they have to be consumed immediately to avoid having them become soggy or fall flat?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@smchatt

Once you keep them in the oven to crisp them up, you can store them in an airtight container for several weeks. To freshen them up, you can even put them back in the oven on low heat.

[smchatt]

@ShowMeTheCurry

Thank you for the reply :)

[supermumoasa]

u talk too much action plssss

[Alsba76]

Hi,

thnx 4 sharing it with us. Today i have tried them BUT some of Puri where nice big and both Side puff.But mostly they look like a plate noooooooo puff nothing i have tried with lil thin or thick + with lil hot oil but not work at all. Pls help how i can get a perfect result for all puris. I think i have let it rest for to long instaed of 20min for 40 min. Is this the problem? Do i have to put all together + hold them with wet towel?help

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Alsba76

If you roll out all of the puris, then you should cover them with a damp towel so that they don't dry out. Usually, there will be some puris that do not puff...you can use these for papdi chaat.

[WinnieThePooh208]

its soo cool like wen one off u tawk the other one stares at the cam lens...hehe nice vids :D

[shailysinha]

Instead of Oven can we use Microwave to remove the moisture . If yes then at what settings (temp and Time)?

[vishalpatel07]

hindi spich

[tannu0207]

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

Thanks for the recipe, I really appreciate it. All this time I tried a couple of recipes for Pani Puri Puries but never got the right now, well now I have it :) I tried it today but there is a problem. My puri dont rise the way it shud, I mean some of them do and others are just flat. I dont know where am I going wrong. The crispiness and everything else is just prefect its only that they dont rise well. Can you please help me with that...............

Thanks

Tannu

[mmpanwala]

I made them today n They were amazing... Btw do you have an iPhone app of show me the curry ???? If not .... Please.... Get it for us.... It wud be super liked.... N pls a free app.... Hehehe..... ; )

[t29017155]

I like Anuja ! Very graceful. But I like Hetal's make-up, dressing and hairstyle. I want to be graceful and poised like Anuja. My guess is that Hetal has a good business acumen but it's Anuja who has cooking talent.

[akemp7777]

In my family we use a heated tortilla press to roll the puris. We roll the dough into logs then cut off marble sized pieces then roll them up and flatten them on the press. Makes things much easier!

[littymisty]

Thanks So much.. Your feedback has encouraged me to try it again... thanks for keeping the flame ignited ..

[naklie2008]

I want to make Pani Puri's today. I have watched your video the whole time! I hope it will succeed! Thank you so much for the video! Keep it up!

[neha229]

Thn u so much cuz my puries never fluff up:(

But thnx cuz now i no wat i did wrong:)

[mlc2005]

I just booked my dream trip to India and can't wait to sample all the wonderful foods there! Indian cuisine, imo, is the most interesting and flavorful of all world cuisines. Your videos are getting me psyched! Thank you both so much.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mlc2005 : Have a wonderful trip :)

[littymisty]

@ Hetal,

Hi I tried your recipe, I was ok but I encounter two problems

1. In my puri the top part was soft like actual puri, it was not at all crisp.. any idea what went wrong.

2. When I removed the kadai, it was hot and crispy but later on it become soft and too hard to eat.. I don't know what went wrong.. Please suggest me something ..

Thanks

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@littymisty : Here is what we think:

1. The softness is due to the fact that the oil temp. was probably not right.

2.The same issue as the one above. The puris need to cook on a low flame for a long time so that the moisture from puri has time to dry out.

Hope that helps

[jaqi727]

i know you get this a lot but you two are very beautiful. i enjoy your videos and when i have friends over we all watch them and try new things! love you guys!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@jaqi727 : Aaawww, thank you !

[bickyching]

THANK YOU! crispy poori!! this is one of my favourite Indian dishes. every recipe out there is 'soft' which i don't like :( now i finally know how to make it. very very professional!! u girls rock!! :D

[Sunnhunter]

sooji is rava or semolina??

[MiSSloveish]

@Sunnhunter - its semolina. :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Sunnhunter

The English name for it is semolina, however many times sooji is referred to as rava (rawa) as in "Rava Idli". Please note that it is different than "Idli Rava" which is ground parboiled rice.

[ProudSikhJatt]

@ShowMeTheCurry hey you both are very beautiful, had a question is it really nessessary to leave the dough for 30 minutes? what if you do it sooner then this? where are you cutie's orginially from?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@ProudSikhJatt

Thanks! You really have to let the dough rest...it gives it time for the water to absorb properly. Hetal is Gujarati, Anuja is Punjabi.

[TheCommenter8798]

squidgy

[koan786]

it's never remains puff.

[17nilu]

Hi, why does my puri's never puff? Iv done everything and followed loads of recipies but my problem is mine never puff, can you help? I dont know what i do wrong

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@17nilu

Usually, puris don't puff if they are not rolled evenly or if the oil temp is too low.

[17nilu]

@ShowMeTheCurry Thank You will make sure i do that

[17nilu]

@ShowMeTheCurry Thank You

[rrrrr5102006]

Hi Girls. A very neat trick of adding the oil at a later stage. Will have to try that next time. I would suggest adding a bit of the coarse sooji to the fine one and also using durum wheat flour instead of the AP flour. while both the things will help giving it that nutty flavor, the coarse sooji will give the pooris strength and crispness (Structural integrity) and the durum wheat has enough gluten to do the same job as the AP without loosing on the flavor.

We press on a hot tortilla machine.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@rrrrr5102006

Thanks for your recipe!

[lokloke7777]

hai

i followed the same procedure, the pooris puffed up but they turned soggy can u plz tell me why, i have tried many other recipes as well and the latest one i tried was your version and it turned out to be soggy as well can u plz help

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@lokloke7777

Did you put them in the oven? That is the key part that makes them crispy.

[sheetalbandi]

can I use a stand mixer to make the dough. if yes, can you please post some tips or another video

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@sheetalbandi : You need to make a very stiff dough for pani-puris and unfortunately you will need to use your hands.

[invite2truth]

could u plz tellme..when ever i put in hot oil rolling dough means round pieces why they dont make bubbully/fluffy as urs?.second thing its nessery that when we rooll dough for best pani pori it should not bhi thick?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@invite2truth

Even rolling will ensure puffy puris. Yes, the dough should be rolled thin, not thick for pani puri. They must be light and crispy, not crunchy.

[samkkkhit]

wow lady this is kool but plz dont takeeeee 2 much;;

[anjanbehera]

at 5:36 instead of drizzling oil on the rolling surface, can't we just sprinkle some flour or maida?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@anjanbehera: anytime you dust with dry

ingredients to things that have

to be fried, they tend to soak a lot more

oil, hence we use oil to help in the rolling.

[anjanbehera]

@ShowMeTheCurry: oh yes...had forgotten about that! btw just tried ur bengali shrimp curry and oh my!! it was AWESOME!! i love ur show!! :)

[girlcool3]

I liked the granite ware you'r frying where can i get one in that size? is it 4 qt?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We think so...it is a very old one and we have had it for so long and don't remember any details about it :)

[riyadh0201]

I cant get the pooris to fluff up when i put in the oil. out of 5 maybe 2 of them will puff up. what do i do???

[ShowMeTheCurry]

There could be 2 issues:

- the puris are not rolled out even

- the oil is too hot

hope it helps fixing the issue.

[MsShung]

Hi,

What purpose does baking powder serve? can this recipe be done without it?

Thanks a lot...

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Baking Powder helps puff them up :) We suggest you don't skip that step or get ready to eat papadi chaat instead ;)

[celticraider1]

@MsShung the baking powder when heated upproduces a gas, that makes the puri inflate

[VIBGYOR004]

Thanks gals...love this recipe and the baking tip is just amazing!!

[Jigar285]

hi, you can use tortila maker for puri. that very easy to make puri for pani puri.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

That is the best...we tried to show a style of making if you do not own one. If you do - you are very lucky indeed.

Enjoy :)

[WHENUREADY2002]

luv u guys.just want did to know what else can u use to eat pani puri?

[angeltoadore]

my mom has the same exact pan/pot for deep frying! maybe it's just a Guju/ Patel thing! =)

[tatulover01]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We have a Tip Tuesday video on the difference between Baking Soda and Baking Powder.

Check out our website, go to the "Tips" tab and scroll down to the video.

Hope that helps!

[SoCalOceanz]

[ShowMeTheCurry]
