On the day of Holi every Indian household gets to see lots of friends and visitors at their home invited or uninvited, as Holi is a festival of spreading love and friendship. And it does give immense pleasure to receive their love and affection in form of Abir/ Gulal. It’s a sweet gesture of splashing colours on their faces, hugging each other and yelling like ‘Holi hai’ ‘Bura na mano holi hai’. After Abir/ Gulal it’s time to treat them with sweets and snacks.

I, Green Chilli, had very little time to prepare anything before guests start pouring in. I preferred to buy readymade sweets but for snacks my inner cook shook me up and I made up my mind to make Dahi Vada. Originally the Vada is made with Daal, but due to the time crunch I took a short cut and made it with white bread. It was even yummier and softer than the usual Dahi Vada. Do give this recipe of Dahi Vada a try.

In most of the recipes you will find directions on how to make panipuri filling or how to make panipuri water. But what about the ‘Puri’ itself? What if you want a healthy alternative to the delicious golgappas served on street?

Majority of us think that making golgappa at home is an arduous ordeal. But it is not. As you can see, we have categorized it under Quick Recipes. Making panipuri at home is really easy and not at all time consuming.

As you know, I, Green Chilli (co-author of this site) is the laziest of the lot. I hate to go to shops on holidays unlike others and always find a way to manage stuff by doing minimal work.

It all started on a Sunday evening when I was finished with my afternoon movie watching and was craving for Puchka. But being a lazy lassie, I did not want to take a single step out of my Home Sweet Home. So, what to do? Should I kill my wish to have Golgappa? What if I die very next day? What if the world ends because of some hellish Tornado! What I if the government bans Panipuri Stalls from tomorrow!  *dramatic pause*

All these scary thoughts started haunting me! Therefore, I did not waste any more time and headed towards the kitchen, armed with an idea of cracking the recipe of the world’s best snack known to some as Puchkha, to others as Gol Gappa and the rest as Pani Puri.
