Masala puri

Masala puri - A mouth smacking chat, which is a very famous street food. It is typically spicy and made by crushing puris and soaking it in a gravy or massage made with potato and peas.
You will need golgappa puris to make this. I buy dried puris which i fry and use. The masala puri should be served as soon as it is made otherwise it becomes soggy.
