Pani for Pani Puri / Golgappa Pani Recipe: This spicy and flavorful water is the second most important part of famous Indian street side snack (chaat) pani puri. If you are in India or planning to visit India the must thing to try is Chaat. You will find street vendors selling spicy, chatpate, mazedaar chaat in small stalls called thela in Hindi. And if you are not visiting India then don’t worry. I made this pani for pani puri with fresh herbs and spices and no ready made powder mix used. I believe powers mixes destroy the authentic taste of such recipes. Especially when it is so simple to make it at home with most of the ingredients easily available at home.
