Method
Puris
  1. I used store bought ones,if you want to make at home please follow this recipe.
Bangarpet Pani
  1. Grind cinnamon,blacksalt,peppercorns,saunf,lemon salt and regular salt to a coarse powder.
  2. Add green chillies,chopped ginger and garlic pods and turn in whipper mode to a slight coarse masala,it should not become paste.So take care not to run for long time.
  3. Drop the mixture in a potli bag(muslin cloth) and make it into a potli and drop it in 1 litre water and keep it aside for 4-5 hrs until the water is infused with the spices from the potli bag.You can even rest this in refrigerator.
  4. Now take out the potli and add sugar to it and mix well.
  5. In a small bowl take coriander and add 1/4 cup water and slightly press coriander with hands until you get the flavor of coriander infused into the water.Strain the water and discard all the coriander and add this coriander flavored water to the pani.
  6. Now check the taste of pani and add extra water(you might need to add 1/2 litre water approximately) to it to suit your taste buds.Adjust the salt,sugar and lemon salt as per your taste.This would be generally not spicy in one sip,the spicyness increases gradually as you keep eating,So make it in moderate spice level.(Add more water if the pani is extremely spicy.You need to balance all the flavors salt,spice,sweetness and pungency according to your taste buds.)
  7. You can keep in refrigerator if you need or serve it at room temperature.
