TIP:
Making puri is very tedious job,you can buy the readymade puri ,which you can get in any indian stores.
Same way you get pani puri masala.which you can use to make pani.
For stuffing you can use anything you like ,some people like to use only potatoes,some use boiled chickpeas,some like using namkeen boondi or sprouted moong .
Some people like hot so they avoid tamarind chutney.
So at last yoy have to decide your combination .Enjoy.
