Now add 1 tbsp of the Tamarind chutney.

Dip the filled Poori into the chilled pani puri water and serve.

You can add the above ingredients into the Poori according to your taste. Many people like to have only the sweet tamarind chutney, some like it hot and therefore adding the potatoes and lentils they dip the poori into the Pani Poori water. Some only add the moong/lentils while others favor the potatoes. Make your favorite combination
