Urad dal ke golgappe
I love watching food and travel shows since childhood. My current favorites other than Ranveer brar's travel show are Delhi food walks by Anubhav Sapra and Visa2Explore by Harish Bali. I love both of their styles and follow their episodes closely. Recently since the lock-down begin, i started re-watching some of the old episodes and suddenly while travelling in Gwalior Anubhav sapra visited a chat stall where he tried pani puris made from urad dal, this was first time i was hearing about Pani puris made from urad dal. I decided to make it a home and see what is the difference. To be honest, it turned out to be amazing, the crispiness is awesome. please note that these puris are little darker in color and crispier in texture and has very good water holding strength. Do try this at home and share your experience. I am sure you will definitely love it.
