Now take the boiled potato and chik peas and smash them, add little salt, Chilli powder (optional) and chopped onion and keep them a side.

PREPARATION OF POORI :

Take a bowl, add suji and little salt then mix it well. Now just add enough warm water while mixing. (DO NOT ADD MORE WATER) now the dough absorbs the water and become like a gravy. Now sprinkle the maida (DO NOT ADD MORE IT IS JUST TO ABSORB THE EXTRA MOISTURE) 11/2  tsp is enough to add to the dough.

Dough should not be soft, it should be medium thick (Tip: kneed the dough for nearly 5 min) Add little oil and kneed the dough for another 3 min. Now cover the dough with a squeezed wet cloth and leave it for nearly 15 min.

Now add little oil on a flat surface like plate or a table top  where you are going to roll the poori. and start rolling the dough very thin. then take a bottle cap or any thing with a sharp edge and start cutting them into circles. Take the poori circles and put them on a wet cloth and cover them with another wet cloth. After you are done rolling all the circles, now you can start frying them.

Now take a pan, add oil and after heating (KEEP THE STOVE IN MEDDIUM FLAME) start frying the Poori's. Keep watching the poori's bulging like balloons. Now remove them and after cooling put them in an airtight container so that when ever you want you can use them.

Now Paani and Poori are ready. Take the poori and make hole in the middle and fill with the potato/peas stuff. Now dip the stuffed poori in the flavored tamarind juice and fill your mouth with the Paani Puri. Bet you, if you can stop after eating one pani poori, no one can stop..
