PANI PURI/GOLGAPPA

Pani Puri is a chaat which is tasty tangy and sweet owing to the different chutneys and the water used in it.I am very fond of Pani Puri and love to eat whenever we go out to eat.In North specially in Delhi where I grew up it is called Golgappa.

Open Butter Masala Dosa is one of the items I always order whenever we go out to eat,specially it tastes great at Adigas,the famous chain of resturants here in Bangalore.I have so much wanted to make this at home,specially on a weekend dinner and I could make this last week.All enjoyed it to the core and needless to say it was a super duper hit in Nithya’s Kitchen.I was so pleased with the outcome that I am planning to make this often.The fact that the masala is on the top rather than inside as a stuffing,is the attraction here.Also it has toppings of grated coconut and ,coriander leaves,idli molaga podi and dollops of butter.Yummy!!
