How to Make Indian pani puri snacks

Instead of serving the same old biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner tonight, why not take your family on an exotic taste adventure by fixing them pani puri? Pani puri is a puffed Indian flat bread that can be served with condiments like mint, tamarind water, and chili.

Unlike traditional American biscuits, this type of bread is deeply seasoned with lemon juice, ginger powder, and cumin.

Makes about 60 puris.

1 cup mint leaves (Pudina)
