    Panipuri, puchka or golgappe is perhaps the most exciting thing about chat counter. Be it roadside stalls or wedding menu. Maximum women will be found either at the jewellery store, sale or at the chaat counter.

    Guilty as charged! I have loved having it in many cities especially Elco Arcade Mumbai. What is not to love about golgappa. It can be customized according to your taste.Whether you like khatta pani or sour jaljira or extra meethi imli chutney in it. However, the only thing that doesn't change is the fried puri. That has always deterred the health conscious from having it. So here comes the lower calorie air fryer pani puri where we air-fry the pellets and enjoy the same flavors with no worry!

    You may also make panipuri in air fryer from scratch. However, that recipe is for another day. Right now, 2022 needs a good start and golgappe or puchkas are perfect for it.

    Another recipe close to everyone's heart is the Indian fryums. Fryums have been a part of every kids menu since childhood. Whether you stayed in North or South India, fryums have been a part of farsan or snacks which have been eaten along with main course.

    We Sindhis cannot do without our kheecha, vadiya, papad.We need something crunchy and so everyone loves fryums including my toddler. Although, anything in excess is bad, having some at lunch occasionally is fun! Even a boring dal khichdi becomes interesting when you do not have time to cook elaborate meals in a weekday.Fryums as the name says is fried but here we air-fry the fryums to make it little low in calories. Of course, kids do not have to worry about their weight.It is us that cannot run and jump with joy whole day who needs to look at the scale. So lets eat and make merry with a little bit of farsan !

    Storage tips

    You can airfry the pellets and keep in an airtight jar at room temperature. I prefer storing them in a glass bottle. Make jaljira pani and chutney fresh and enjoy your panipuri. Fryums can be done 10 mins before you sit for lunch.

      Most of the puris come out well but some collapse after taking out and some start popping.

        hi Akila,
        We have seen that happening if we add too many pooris in the air fryer.
        For the collapsing poori,try cooking them for a little less time , reduce cooking time by 10-20 seconds.

        Thanks

      Air frying wasn’t successful for me. I adjusted temperature and time. Disappointed.

        Hi Tami, its unfortunate that it did not work for you.
        I would suggest to preheat the air fryer if you did not do it and also do not over crowd the basket.. Other than that, I could not find any reason for which this should not work
        Thanks
