Mexican Pani Puri (vegan, 6 ingredients)

Mexican Pani Puri… a fusion twist on an Indian classic. It’s perfect for Cinco de Mayo or a summer barbecue.

I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but my cousin, Ajay, gets credit for this one. I first tried his Mexican Pani Puri this past Christmas and I couldn’t believe he made the pani and the corn salsa from scratch.

He later came clean and told me the pani is actually just Trader Joe’s Zhoug Sauce and water, and the corn salsa is also from TJs.

I was impressed he even came up with this concoction because it was so quick and easy. It literally takes minutes to put together.

This Cinco de Mayo, make this delicious Indian Mexican appetizer using just 6 ingredients. You’ll need three out of six ingredients from the Indian Grocery Store, and the rest from Trader Joe’s.

    Tried it today and was a hit! My husband was skeptical at first but wound up loving it!! Thank you for sharing – a classic favorite with a twist!
    Few changes I tried:
    For the filling I skipped the caviar salsa and used, black beans, roasted seasoned corn (frozen from Trader Joe’s) and guacamole!

"Just when you think you know love, someone little "Just when you think you know love, someone little comes along to remind you just how big it really is." - Unknown⁠
⁠
How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠
⁠
For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠
⁠
Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long!
⁠
Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠
