User Comments & Tips

*To save up time you can make the puris a week earlier and store in a air-tight container *The pani and the sweet chutney can be made earlier too and keep in a container in the freezer. *Serve like any other pani puri:-Cracking the top of the puri and filling it with the potato,channa,sweet chutney and pani.
