Kunals Tips (for pani)
- did you know that water is the biggest carrier of germs. So for making the Pani for the pooris make sure that you use clean filtered water. Best is to boil & cool down the water and then use it.
- While grinding the greens the grinder generates heat which kills the bright green colour, so adding ice to theekha Pani ensures the colour of the greens remains intact.
- Store the extra flavoured water in the fridge and consume by the next day. If you want to store it longer then divide it into smaller batches and freeze it. This was you can use it for upto 30days.
- Adding chopped onions to the stuffing is very optional, some places do it with onion some dont.
