Masala Puri or Masaal Puri is an iconic Street food or Chaat dish made in and around Bangalore. It is a delicious chaat made with soaked and cooked legumes served with a variety of condiments.

Talking about one’s hometown, and what it means to a food blogger is all at once personal, intimate and nostalgic. That was the state – Karnataka – where I hail from.

Davangere Benne dose, Shavige Idli, Bisibele Bhath, Vangibhath, Obbattu Ugadi MealSet Dosa, Akki Rotti, RagiMudde, Yennegai-Jolada Rotti … all my favourites ! What’s your fav from that state?

Although we cook Karnataka food almost everyday (our cuisine is mostly South indian with Tamilnadu and
Karnataka cuisine), choosing a dish close to my heart proved to be a humongous task ! Till of course, this Chaat (or street food) came as an epiphany. 
Pani Puri,Bhel Puri, Pav BhajiDahi Puri, Samosa might be available in every part of India and abroad, but for those from Karnataka and especially, Bangalore Masala Puri has a special place.

We love this Chaat to bits as much as the other Bangalore speciality – Tomato Slice Chaat

Unlike other chaats, the process is tedious. But it can be made with everyday materials. Just a little planning and you have a winner on hand. 

Soaking time – 1 , prep time- 30 mins ; Cooking time : 20 mins ;

    This Bangalore masala puri chaat is somewhat newer chaat. But nevertheless, I am always exploring newer recipes. This one is quite a brilliant recipe. Green chutney and tamarind chutney is such an integral of a chaat house. This weekend, I shall make it.

    Masal puri is irresistible. The spicy battani gravy with South indian flavors gives an entirely different flavor profile to the chaat .

Thanks so much for dropping by.
