    About

    For long time, I kept postponing making masala puri post. The masala we prepare for this with dried green peas is similar to ragda.

    I have not tasted this in restaurant/ outside.Β  But have drooled enough seeing street food videos and Instagram posts.

    Crushed crispy chaat puris are served with a spicy gravy poured over it. The gravy is usually made thin and while serving masala puri, pour it along with peas over it.

    Serving suggestions

    You can serve masala puri with some sweet chutney, green chutney and even sweetened curd (yogurt), if you want. I served it as such. It is spicy and delicious.

    Top it generously with the usual chaat toppings namely onion, tomato, coriander leaves. I love a dash of lemon juice as well. Cucumber also adds a nice crunch as well as balance to the dish.

    I have linked other ingredients for recipe in the recipe card below.

    Notes

    • Water content depends on how much water you are using to cook peas and how much it absorbs. So I cannot give exact quantity. Please refer to the video to get an idea about consistency at each stage.
    • The masala turns really flavourful if you prepare ahead and give standing time. But make sure to re heat before serving as this is supposedΒ to be had hot.
    • Add masala powders generously as mentioned. Otherwise the gravy might turn bland.Β

      Hello. A quick suggestion. Add a small piece of cinnamon stick and 2 cloves before sauteing the onions. This adds a taste to the masala puri.

        Sure I will try that. Since I used garam masala generously, I did not use it.
