Pani Puri water, also known as Pudina Pani, is a popular and refreshing Indian street food that can be made at home with a healthy twist to support weight loss. Here's a simple recipe for a low-calorie pani puri water.
Begin by blending a cup of fresh mint leaves (Pudina), half a cup of coriander leaves (Dhania), one green chili (adjust to taste), and a teaspoon of grated ginger into a smooth paste.
Transfer the green paste to a bowl and add roasted cumin powder, black salt, chaat masala, a pinch of asafoetida (hing), and regular salt. Mix well to create a flavourful spice base.
Introduce a tablespoon of lemon juice to the spice mix for a tangy kick. Adjust the quantities according to your taste preferences.
Gradually incorporate cups of chilled water into the spice mix, stirring continuously. Aim for a thin and refreshing consistency for the pani.
Use whole wheat or multigrain puris for a healthier option. Make a small hole on the top of each puri, creating a cavity to hold the spiced water.
Just before serving, fill each puri with the prepared Pani to maintain the crispiness of the shells. Indulge in the delightful flavours of pani puri without compromising your weight-loss goals.
