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.
