MDH Pani Puri Masala

Pani Puri Masala is a spice blend used to flavor the tangy water that is poured into pani puri, a popular Indian street food snack. The masala typically includes a combination of cumin powder, coriander powder, black salt, tamarind powder, dry mango powder, chili powder, and sometimes mint leaves or other spices. The masala can be made at home or purchased pre-made from an Indian grocery store. To make the pani puri water, the masala is typically mixed with water, lemon juice, and sometimes sugar to create a tangy and spicy flavor that complements the crispy puri shells filled with mashed potatoes, chickpeas, and chutneys.
