Pani puri can be prepared easily at home using commonly available ingredients. I love chats but I never used to prepare chats at home. But now, since my Son loves pani puri, masala puri and dahi puri, I prepare them often at home. When we prepare something at home, we generally expect it to be simple, quick yet tasty. And that is how I ended up with this simple and tasty pani puri recipe.

Instructions for making pani puri:
- To beginwith lets make puri. For that take fine rava, maida, salt and cooking soda in a bowl.
- Add in a tsp of oil. Rub and mix well using hands.
- Next start kneading the dough by adding water little by little.
- Use required water and prepare soft but stiff dough. I have used around 1/2 cup of water.
- Cover it with a damp or wet cloth and rest it for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes knead it again until you get a soft and stiff dough. You can either sprinkle little water or add little rava to get the proper conistency. The dough should be slightly harder than chapthi dough.
- Knead it really well..atleast for 5 minutes until you get the elasticity or gluten strands in the dough.
- Next take a big lemon sized dough.
- And roll it into a thin chapathi, thinner than regular chapathi. And then take a bowl or tumber and make thin circles.
- Finish making a batch of puris.
- Heat the oil and drop the puris. Flip the puris and fry on both the sides. Once the bubbles are subsided, continue frying the puris under low flame for 10-15 more seconds. Finish frying all the puris.
- Next to prepare potato stuffing boil 2 large potatoes, peel and take them in a container. Mash them well. Optionally you can add boiled green peas.
- Add in salt, red chili powder and chat masala.
- Give a quick mix. Potato stuffing is ready. Keep it aside.
- Next to make pani, take pudina leaves, coriander leaves and green chilies in a mixie jar. Add in required water and grind it into fine paste.
- Strain it and take the juice.
- For that add in black salt, chat masala, tamarind juice and jaggery. Taste the pani and adjust all the ingredients as per your taste.
- At the end add in lemon juice (or amchur powder), required water and give a quick mix...
- Next arrange the plate with puris, pani, potato stuffing and finely chopped onion.
- Crack open the thin side of the puri, fill the potato stuffing and chopped onion. Top it with pani and enjoy.
