Pani Puri is a chaat which is tasty tangy and sweet owing to the different chutneys and the water used in it.I am very fond of Pani Puri and love to eat whenever we go out to eat.In North specially in Delhi where I grew up it is called Golgappa. Usually for making chaats at home,you need a lot of patience and it is time consuming also as it requires assembling of lots of items.But with proper planning you can make the things in advance and enjoy with your family.In my earlier days of cooking,I had tried this recipe trying…
