Notes

  • Adding sweet and green chutney is purely optional but I recommend adding them for the extra flavour.
  • 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.
  • Do not use fresh peas.
