💡 Pro Tips

To make crispy puris, it's essential to fry them at the right temperature. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 375°F (190°C). Also, to make the best version of papri chaat, use freshly brewed green chutney and adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your desired level of spiciness.
