GOLGAPPE KA PANI | PANI FOR PANI PURI


Flavorful and tongue-tickling golgappas are a delight for every foodie; and let me tell you, me and my husband are no different when it comes to enjoying this soulful street delicacy atleast once a week. However, owing to the lockdown being carried across India due to COVID-19 outbreak, getting out and hogging on our favorite street food was simply impossible (I am sure most of you, would have missed these tongue-tickling waterballs too.. right? 😀) Well, missing them badly, I decided to make these golgappas at home and give a treat to my husband (as he is more fond of them than me). For making the golgappas, I used the recipe shared in my earlier post, almost a year back. CHECK OUT THE RECIPE OF SOOJI GOLGAPPA HERE. 

For the pani, I made two varieties, teekha (spicy) one and the meetha (khatta-meetha) one. Base for both of the them was same, only difference was that in the latter, I added a good quantity of the SWEET TAMARIND CHUTNEY. You can even add different flavors such as heeng, jeera, saunf etc. to the base for more varieties of water. Listed below is the complete details of the base version of golgappe ka pani.


INGREDIENTS

  • Coriander leaves - 1 cup
  • Mint leaves - 1/2 cup
  • Green chilies - 2 to 3
  • Ginger - 1/2 inch
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Black salt/kala namak - 1 to 2 tsp
  • Bhuna jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Chaat masala - 2 tsp
  • Amchoor - 1/2 tsp
  • Red chili powder - 1 tsp
  • Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
  • Sweet Tamarind Chutney - 2 to 3 tbsp
  • Chilled Water - 6 to 8 cups
P.S - If making meetha pani, add 5 to 6 tbsp of sweet tamarind chutney in the water (the amount would depend on the sweetness of chutney). You can also add some sugar along with tamarind chutney if it is less on the sweeter side. Also, please feel free to adjust the salt and spice level as per your taste preference.

Bhatura is a leavened, puffed deep fried bread made from Maida or All Purpose Flour. A popular recipe from the Punjabi cuisine, it is mainly served with spiced chickpea curry such as Pindi Chholey and Amritsari Chholey . Traditionally, bhatura is made using fermented dough, which is rested for minimum of 6 hours and has a peculiar tang to it. However, when you are short of time and crave for this delicious Chole Bhatura combo, these instant bhaturas come to your rescue. Quick and easy to prepare, they use Eno Fruit Salt as the leavening agent and trust me, that lends the bhaturas with that perfect crispness on outside and perfect fluffiness on the inside.

Burani Raita Recipe | Spiced, Garlic Flavored Yogurt

By -
Image
Burani Raita is a famous Indian accompaniment to spicy biryanis and pulaos. A Hyderabadi specialty, it uses some thick yogurt that is mixed with few pounded cloves of garlic and some basic spice powders like red chili and roasted cumin, which lend it that much-needed hint of spicy kick. Not to mention, when it comes to making the Burani Raita, it is no more than a five minutes process and makes for an ideal side dish to go along with any kind of rice preparation or even chapati & sabzi combination. Ideally, this utterly flavorful and aromatic raita only has to it, some pounded raw garlic, however, I have given it a slight twist by topping it with some fried garlic bits and some red chili oil for extra flavoring. This step is totally optional and you can skip it altogether by sticking to the traditional way of making it. So, not wasting any time further, lets move on to the recipe....

Dhaba Style Besan ki Phulki wali Kadhi

By -
Image
Kadhi is a popular delicacy from the Indian cuisine that is made using gram flour and yogurt as a base. Having said that, the recipe of this luscious and beautiful curry differs from region to region and from every household to household. Coming from the Punjabi family, for us, Kadhi Pakoda has always meant a sour and spicy kadhi, which essentially has the soft onion or palak/spinach fritters dunked into the luscious gramflour-yogurt gravy. And I guess, most of the Punjabi households make the kadhi in a similar manner...  However, if you have ever had kadhi at a dhaba or a street-side restaurant, you would have noticed that the pakodas added in the kadhi doesn't make use of onions, spinach or any other vegetable.  The pakodas are more like phulkis (plain and soft gramflour dumplings), which are spiced with just a handful of spices and some ginger for the rustic flavor. Despite of that the kadhi is simply delectable and the spicy tadka with whole lots of crushed dhaniya seeds ma
