Paneer Bhurji Recipe – Indian Veg Sabzis

Hie,

There are times when suddenly milk curdles.. And we make paneer out of it.. Same happened with me, but when i was making condensed milk. Which meant it was heavily sweet. and hence much cant be done there!

After thinking a lot, thought why not make Paneer bhurji, with loads of veggies and chili. The veggies would give the slight

crunch, chili ofcourse would give the heat, paneer’s creaminess will be there ofcourse. All in all, the dish would be perfect!

And it was perfect with soft, soft phulkas.. Lets have a look at the recipe..

Puri for Pani Puri Recipe | Indian Street Food

Hie Friends,

I don’t know whats the craze round the world with small dumplings filled with sauces/fillings..

Here, the chaat Indian People’s most enjoy! Its Pani Puri or Gol Gappa or Puchka or Bataashe or Gup Chup!!

Your Favorite right? Lets make puris for Pani puri.. Which is the most difficult task.. Getting thin, crisp and delicious puris.. Gets even difficult when the street stall people say “Its NOT EASY”

[widget id=”text-5″]

Puri for Pani Puri Recipe | Indian Street Food

Serves: 30-35 Puris

Ingredients

Maida/Plain Flour - ¼ Cup
Suji/Semolina - ¼ Cup
Baking Soda - 1 Pinch
Salt - To Taste
Oil - To Fry

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add in the maida, suji, salt and baking soda. Mix and make a dough using sufficient water. Make a soft dough.
Once the dough is ready, cover and let it rest for 30 mins.
Heat oil to very high. Just before smoky point.
Make 3 portions out of it and then roll it thin. Roll it thinner than a chapati but not much thin otherwise it wont puff! Cut it using a cookie cutter/glass.
Now drop these in very hot oil. Lower the flame and fry until golden. See Notes**
Take the puris out from the oil and put them in plate and let them cool and then enjoyyyyy!!

Notes

For Frying: Make sure the oil is very hot. If its not hot enough it'll not get crisp and it'll be thicker and soft from one side and thinner from another.
Main keys in making these puri's are the oil should be hot, puri should be rolled well.

A visual treat for you! 🙂
