1/2 litre water
1″ ginger chopped

METHOD:

  1.  Soak  Ragda overnight, boil it with sufficinet water and salt.

NOTE:

  • Instead of white peas you can use bondi or boiled potatoes sprinkled with salt, red chilli powder and chaat masala or boiled green sprouts ( moong ) to fill the puris.
  • Better if an individual assembles puris for himself / herself as per his/ her taste like if one wants more of tamrind chutney ( meethi chutney) and less of spicy water or vise verse as per her/ his taste with desired filling ( ragda / boiled potatoes/ sprouts)
