Hello All, I am remembering the mouthwatering taste of pani puri, bhel puri , masala puri, tikka chaat. Here I have tried in several places but I dont get the awesome taste as in india. I'll appreciate if anyone can share their tried and tested recipies of any of these chaats. I want the same flavor as in india, dont know how work about it. The chaats in US is nowhere close to the chaats in India.. Share your recipies here. Thanks
Hi riya, I feel the same right now. I miss all the chaat food from india like crazy, especially going to the chaatwala near my house for pani puri. Obviously, there are few places here that sell it but dont get the same taste. Have to satisfy myself with it any how. If you have any indian shop there you might get a pani puri pack from Gardens. There is poori chutney and shutney to make water in it. So its simple. I also make sev puri on rice crackers or tortillas often,, will post some recipes for u soon. Good luck

Here is an all-time healthy and favourite sandwich that every Mumbaikar loves and is proud of. I used to eat this sandwich every single day in Mumbai whenever we went with my Dad to Mumbai for a small break every few months!!! BOMBAY SANDWICH ***************** Take two slices of fresh bread. Cut the sides if you want. Apply green chutney on one slice and butter on the other slice. On the chutney slice, first place a layer of fine sliced boiled potato, next layer of thin sliced onion, and last layer of thin sliced tomato. Place the chutney side on top of this. Cut the sandwich into four quarters. Serve fresh with some ketchup on each quarter and a little sev on each quarter!!!
Riya, Yeah Even I am dying to eat pani puri when I return to India. I made it here once at home but Its not at all comparable to the street ones. The day I return to India, first thing I will do is take parcel and have it at home at least 3 plates!!! hehe Another thing- you know what my dad used to tell about pani puri, when we said home made pani puri doesn't taste as the street ones- he used to say that the panipuri wala washes his hands inthe paani, and that pani only he serves you, thats why u feel so tasty huh!!!! EEEEkkkkkk!!! BUT STILL WE DIE TO GO TO THE STREET AND ENJOY IT!!!
