From mundane Monday to Monday mood.

August 6, 2019

From mundane Monday to Monday mood. . Paani puri to the rescue. Easy way (with a little help from the store for the puris and my mom who stocks up my refrigerator with tamarind chutney concentrate.) to spice and sweeten a Monday evening. The green water - it’s all mint (tons of it), some cilantro, a couple green chilies, little fresh ginger, Himalayan black rock salt, lime juice and a couple cups of ice water all blended together. Add a little taste with some ground cumin, ground coriander powder, tiny bit of sugar, more Himalayan salt if needed and refrigerate till ready to eat. For the tamarind water - well, that’s just a concoction of soaked tamarind and a generous amount of jaggery and a little salt. For the filling - cook soaked green moong in a little oil with cumin seeds till just a little soft, boil potatoes, chop into little cubes or mash it up, mix moong and potatoes, season with paprika, freshly ground cumin powder, salt. Now comes the best part - eat! Heat up store bought puris in oven for about 5 mins. Crack a hole in the puris, stuff with potatoes filling, add a little tamarind water and a good spoonful of green water. Savor. Repeat. Adjust your combination as per mood. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat......... . . . . . #panipuri #paanipuri #golgappa #indianstreetfood #streetfood #streeteasyfinds #homemade #platedexpressions #summersnack #snack #sweetandspicy #tasty #delicious #foodie #yummy #yum #tasteful #appetizer #vegetarian #vegetarianrecipes #indianfood #indianrecipes #truetomyroots #mint #tamarind #chaat #desichaat #servedinmatka
