Pani Puri

Y'all. My mouth. is. WATERING looking at this picture and writing this description.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with this - Pani Puri is a hugely popular, and one of my favorite snack dishes from India. To eat this dish, you start off by cracking the little puffed crackers (Puri) with your finger to create a hole. In that, you stuff a spicy potato mixture then top it off with (Pani) a mixture of flavored water with tamarind, masala, and herbs!

I am going to be sharing my mom's recipe, and it is absolutely incredible. Enjoy ❤️
