Pani Puris Healthy Treats for your taste buds and Soul

Pani Puris
Healthy Treats for your taste buds and Soul... Why deprive yourself from having chats while on a diet. Here is a quick recipe for you. Who does not love Pani puri... We all do... So eat it guilty free. Usually Pani puri is made with puris which is deep fried, but now a days you get the Puri padas which can be made in the microwave and roasted. The Green Pani puri water traditionally is made from tamarind pulp and mint leaves with roasted cumin powder. Here I have used raw mango to give it a twist. Similarly the  tamarind chutney is made traditionally from tamarind pulp and Jaggary with roasted cumin powder. Here again I have made it with fruit juice and date pulp. The stuffing is made with mix sprouted beans with potatoes which can be replaced with boiled mashed raw banana instead of the potatoes. 

If you are on a restricted diet and not allowed to have certain ingredients please contact your dietician and you can replace or substitute the ingredients. Add salt according to your required measurement.
