Air fryer Pani Puri | Gol Gappe

Pani puri or Gol gappe is a favourite street food in India. Here I share detailed recipe of air fryer pani puri with puris, filling and pani. Try this homemade treat.

While I tend to buy readymade fried puris from outside, I tried them air fried and was super pleased with the results.

No added oil is needed and one gets supremely crispy puris in no time.

You may also try aloo tikki chaat in air fryer, chhole tikki, air fryer samosa, bhel puri and pav bhaji.

I will share with you the recipe of pani puri water or golgappe ka pani which I make two ways with raw mango in the mango season and with lemon crystals or lime juice otherwise. I will share both with you.

I also make pani puri filling in two ways, one with ragda or a spicy dry peas preparation and the other which is boiled potato and sprout mix. Again I will share both with you.

So let's dive into the magic world of pani poori that explodes in your mouth with spicy, tart goodness.

Puri Recipe

With readymade puris in air fryer

Take ready made puris in a plate. You can try these readymade puris.

Preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 5 minutes. Lay 9-10 puris at one go.

Air fry at 360F or 180C for 90 seconds or 1.5 minutes (I used a timer).

You will get perfectly puffed puris. If you fry for more time, your puris will get burnt so keep an eye.

Also the time may vary for different air fryers so do keep an eye when making for the first time.

Your crispy no oil added puris are ready. Serve them with filling and puri water.

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• 1 cup coriander leaves with stems
• 2 tbsp. mint leaves
• 3 green chillies reduce or increase depending upon the heat you like
• 1 raw mango cut into pieces or 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. Pani puri masala
• 1 tsp. black salt
• 1 pinch sugar
• 4 cups water
• Salt to taste

Instructions

 

• Wash and coarsely chop coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies and raw mango. Blend to a fine paste.
• Dilute with water to get pani puri water. Now add pani puri masala. I buy the Everest one or MDH one. Both are good.
• Add black salt and sugar and if needed more salt. Sugar is added to balance the flavour and to bring out the spicy and tart notes well.
• It is not to make the pani sweet. Mix and taste. And add salt or pani puri masala if something is lacking.
• Your lipsmacking pani is ready. Chill and serve.

Notes

If you don't have raw mango, you can use ¼th tsp. citric acid crystals dissolved in water.

You can also use juice of 2 lemons. Some people use tamarind water as well which I personally don't like. But go with what you prefer.

Slightly sweet raw mango will do as well but don't use sweet mango.
