Boiled Green Peas - 1 Big Cup
Pepper Corns - 1 No.
Coriander leaves - 1 small cup
Green Chillies - 5 to 8 Nos (Add according to your taste)

Add half the quantity of  green peas, and rest of the ingredients into a blender, blend it into a smooth paste by adding little water.

In a thick bottom vessel pour the mixture and boil till you see bubbles and at this time add about half a cup of  water then add the remaining peas to the mixture, now boil the masala till it thickens (takes appx about 10 mins). The masala is ready. (Can add boiled mashed potatoes also into the Masala mix, it is an option)

Now crush a few puris onto a plate and pour the masala over the crushed puris. You can add a pinch of red chilli powder and chat masala over the masala, now top it with some chopped onions and corriander leaves and sev. You can also add a hint of lime.

Happy eating Masala Puri, Enjoy :)

  2. @Ashwini, you can use Samosa, Bread, or even Kachori instead of puris.

    If you prepare the masala a little thicker you can use it for Bhel Puri :)
