Home Made Golgappa

I am sure most of us like the famous street snack Golgappa also known as Panipuri..  It is sibling of Churmuri.. ;) Whenever we(me & my-sis) spot a panipuri stall on roadside, we would definitely grab a bite..  Earlier we used to get 10 puri's for 10bucks now its reduced to 6..

Though I am not so inclined towards cooking, I find it interesting to trying unusual dishes.. ;)

It stuck to my mind that, if I was successful in preparing pani-puri's at home, I can probably eat upto 60 puri's than just 6! :P  Keeping 60 puri's in mind, I browsed for the recipe and gave a try.

Trial 1:

Pani - Though all the ingredients to make pani were not at home, I thot not adding a pinch of some spices wouldn't make much difference.  Its very quick to make pani, just gotto mix all spices in water.. Pani tasted just like tamarind water nowhere closer to the pani which we get outside. :(

Puri - Next coming to puri.. My first mistake, I thot puri can be made out of chapati's floor.  The puri instead of becoming balloon shaped turned into small soft disks (Diskgappas instead of Golgappa's?!).  Next day mom made big puri's out of the remaining atta and packed them for breakfast..

Trail 2:

Pani - Get pani puri mix from shop and prepare pani.. It was great! ;)

Puri - Got the proper recipe from internet.  Atta is made out of Sooji and not wheat floor.  Ya I was successful in getting some balloon shaped puri's.. Hurray!!  However 40% of them turned into discs but they tasted good compared to Trial1.  Lots of small puri's could be made out of little atta.

Trail 2 was considered successfull.. You can assess based on the below picture.. Everyone liked at home, some were parcelled to my aunts place as well.. ;)  I think I had atleast (60/2) puri's.. :P  Enough of the trials, next time I am gonna buy readymade puri's too..

I felt its worth to give 10bucks for 6 puri's !!
