Serving Suggestions...
Below are some of our serving suggestions for the products we sell:
Dhokla
Dress three square slices with coconut and coriander chutney and serve with a tamarind sauce on the side.
Samosas
Samosas can be served hot or cold with a cooling natural yoghurt mint sauce. Garnish with fresh whole coriander leaves and a small slice of lemon. Serve with fresh green salad and cherry tomatoes.
You may oven heat the samosa's to make them crispy if you keep them for the following day
Kachori
Lay three on a starter dish and serve with a selection of sauces, Mint Yoghurt Sauce, Tamarind and Sweet Chilli Sauce, garnish with coriander leaves.
Vegetarian Petis
Oven bake two per portion and serve with tamarind sauce, garnish with coriander. Alternatively, serve one in a small wholemeal bap with ketchup for children or with a hot spicy salsa for adults. Complete the meal with oven-baked chips and salad.
Serving the Puchka’s/Pani Puri’s
Tap the Puri at the center lightly to make a half inch hole in it.
Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling of chickpeas and potatoes into the puri.
Now add 1 tablespoon of Pooja's special spicy water. You may add the additional sweet powder mix set to some water as an extra portion of water. This is optional for people who do not like the sweet taste along with the sour taste. Some like the pani to be chilli hot, some like it sweet and hot, some like it just sweet. So alter it to your taste and have fun.
Dip the filled puri into the chilled pani water, garnish with chopped onions and serve immediately.
Alternative serving suggestions for the filling
You can make the filling healthier by adding boiled green moong and spice it according to your taste.
Or just boiled spiced potatoes. So basically, the filling is a lentil/ potato mixture. Experiment the filling with your imagination with a spiced mixture.
Dahi Puri
Place the Puris in a large dish and make a small whole in the top of each one. Half fill the Puris with Bhundis. Pour some plain yogurt (dahi) over the Puris and drizzle with Date and Tamarind sauce. Sprinkle with salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder and chaat Masala to taste.
Serve garnished with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Gulab Jamuns
Gulab Jamuns can be served dry and taken out of the syrup.
Try rolling the Gulab Jamuns in about a 1/2 cup of unsweetened coconut powder as a nice dressing!
