做法
- 做pani:把薄荷、香菜、青辣椒和姜与200毫升水打成顺滑鲜绿色泥。用细筛过滤到大壶中,把所有液体压出——渣丢弃。
- 把过滤的绿色液体与罗望子膏、粗糖、黑盐、烤孜然、芒果粉和剩余1升冰水搅匀。试味——应猛烈尖锐、酸、微辣略甜;冷藏至少30分钟。
- 做馅:把土豆泥、发芽绿豆、chaat香料、克什米尔辣椒和盐混合。轻轻压——质感应粗糙,而非顺滑。
- 用指尖或勺背在每个脆球壳顶部敲一个小孔。孔约1厘米——足够舀馅但不会让壳碎。
- 餐桌上吃前现做:每位食客拿一个脆球,舀一小勺土豆绿豆馅,把整壳浸入冷pani中使其充满尖锐绿水,顶上撒几粒boondi,整颗送入口。
- 立即吃——脆球壳30秒内会变软。第一口爆出冷酸pani,然后温热香料土豆,最后脆响。每人至少8个;pani puri是量化菜。

文化背景
Pani puri的地区名字勾勒出餐饮边界:pani puri(孟买)、gol gappa(德里)、puchka(加尔各答)、gup chup(奥里萨)。比例、pani甜度和馅料因城市而异——加尔各答的puchka用罗望子重的水和马萨拉土豆;德里的gol gappa更甜;孟买的pani puri最酸,用发芽绿豆。吃法是社交的:摊主快速装填脆球递给围圈站立的顾客,每人捧着小钢盘,前一颗还没咽下,下一颗已就位。
