The Golgappa turn lip-smacking only because of sweet, tangy (khatta meetha) Golgappe ka Pani. Thinking how to make perfect street food like tikha pani at home? Then check out the recipes to make not one but 5 different types of Pani Puri Pani Recipe.
Now, most of the times, we are fine with just two flavours of Golgappe ka Pani, right?
The sweet one and the spicy-chatpata 0r tangy one. But, what if you could get more creative and make up other varieties as well?
I grew up in towns of UP and Chaat is one of the specialities of most UP cities.
The Narayan ki Chaat in Jhansi, Moti Mahal and Old Lucknow Chaat and Mandir ki Chaat in Banda, each of these places were my childhood favourites and I miss the taste that only lives in my memories now.
The Chaat Wala in Old Lucknow was very popular because he served 5-8 different types of Pani with the Golgappa.
Each of the Pani Puri Pani was flavoured differently and gave the golgappa a unique twist.
So when I planned a post around Pani Puri Pani, I wanted to recreate the taste of my childhood.
Let’s not withhold the surprise. But, yes, I ended up making 5 types of Golgappe ka Pani – Saunf ka Pani, Hing Ka Pani and most importantly Raw Mango Pani – because, summer, duh!
And, of course, the constants Spicy Pani and Meetha Pani were made as well and the best part is that all the flavours turned out awesome.
Now that I have already shared the recipe to make Atta and Sooji Golgappa with you all and many of you have already made it, it’s right time to make these Pani Puri Pani Recipes and enjoy your Pani Puri Party.
Adults can enjoy this Pani by adding a dash of vodka to it. It tastes amazing and is a nice addition to your next party menu.
You can also try making Matar ki Chaat, Dahi Vada and Aloo Chaat along with this to complete the menu for the Chaat party.
I believe that Golgappe ka Pani should be made as versatile as possible.
Hence, by using saunf (fennel seeds), hing (asafoetida) and raw mango I have tried to infuse as much variety and flavours in an otherwise usual set of flavoured water.
How to make authentic, street food style Pani Puri Pani at home?
- Do not use warm water for making any Golgappe ka Pani. Instead, use water at room temperature or chilled water is the best.
- Make sure to use fresh coriander leaves, green chillies and mint. Because the fresh produce kind of makes all the difference at the end.
- Mainly, eating pani puri or golgappe is more lip-smacking when you are generous with the black salt or red chilli powder. So, sprinkle them up well and enjoy a chilled mouthful munch.
- Refrigerate all the pani well for good 6-7 hours and serve them only when everyone is ready to eat. That way, all the ingredients will meld in well and will taste perfect for a summer brunch or supper.
Now you know that saunf, hing, raw mango are a few of my favourite combos for Golgappe ka Pani, do try them out using my recipe.
And in case, you have any favourite pani of yours to share then do drop a comment, folks! Cheers!
