Masala puri is popular south Indian street food made with crushed fried puri and spicy ragda curry. It originated in the city Bangalore, but now it is popular in major cities of India. It is tasty and ideal to be served as a party starter or simple as an evening snack with a cup of tea or coffee. Try this quick and easy masala puri chaat recipe with all the basic ingredients from your kitchen and enjoy its mouth-watering taste along with friends and family!

The key to making tasty masala puri at home are
  • Firstly, I use dry green peas for ragda, but you can use dry white peas instead of it.
  • I pressure cook potatoes with green peas because potato pieces help to thicken ragda gravy.
  • The ragda has to be extremely hot and also thin consistency. However, once it is rested, it would thicken due to ragda. Hence you may have to adjust the consistency and serve it hot.
  • Lastly, I have used panipuri puri for this recipe, you can also use papadi puri or crispy fried puri instead of it.
