Instructions
Preparing the Aam Panna Pani:
-
Cook the Mango: Start by peeling the raw mango and placing it into a pressure cooker. Add about 1/2 cup of water and cook the mango for 4 whistles or until it is soft and tender.
-
Cool and Extract Pulp: Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure is released, open the lid, discard the water, and transfer the mango to a bowl to cool. Extract the pulp from the mango, discarding the seed.
-
Prepare the Aam Panna: To the mango pulp, add the mint leaves, cumin powder, black salt, black pepper powder, and sugar. Blend the mixture into a smooth puree using a mixer jar.
-
Mix the Pani: Pour the aam panna mixture into a bowl, then add 1 cup of water. Stir well to combine. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the perfect refreshing coolness.
Preparing the Pani Puri Filling:
-
Mash the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
-
Add Sprouts and Spices: To the mashed potatoes, add the green moong sprouts and dry spices: chaat masala, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Mix everything well, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
-
Check the Taste: Taste the filling mixture and adjust salt or seasoning as needed. Set aside.
Assembling the Aam Panna Pani Puri:
-
Stuff the Puri: Gently crack each puri on the top to create an opening. Stuff the puris with the prepared potato and sprout filling.
-
Fill with Aam Panna: Pour the chilled Aam Panna into each stuffed puri just before serving, allowing the flavors to soak into the filling.
-
Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer at your next party or gathering. The combination of crispy puris, tangy Aam Panna, and flavorful filling will delight your taste buds.
