Notes
- It's the chaat masala that adds flavor to the pani, so do not skip it.
- The pani should taste tangy, spicy and sweet. So adjust them accordingly.
- If you have black salt in stock, do add it for extra flavor which I missed in this recipe.
- You can make lot of variations in stuffing like you can use sprouted green gram, white chick peas either cooked or raw.
