    About Masala Puri

    Masala Puri is a popular street food or chat served hot with crushed pooris and masala gravy smeared over it with a generous sprinkle of chat chutneys, raw onion and coriander leaves.

    To me this masala puri tastes just like the street ones which is what I wanted. First when I was cooking the gravy I felt like a overdose of the spices and was skeptical of how it would turn out. But once fully cooked and assembled it tasted awesome, hubby loved it and asked for a extra helping and yes mission accomplished.

    Expert Tips

    • I didn’t have marathi moggu so used star anise instead though it is not the actual equivalent.
    • Do not use fresh peas. Use only dried peas for this gravy.
    • The above quantity is for making 2 plates.
    • Adding sweet and green chutney is purely optional but I recommend adding them for the extra flavor.
    • I love sweet chutney in masala puris so go for extra helping.
    • The toppings can be adjusted as per your taste.
    • Make sure to serve while the gravy is still hot to enjoy the taste.
    • I used homemade puris, you can use store bought ones too.

    Serving and Storage

    Make the masala gravy and keep it ready. You can make the chutneys, puri ready. On the time of serving assemble the chat and serve hot immediately.
