Tips and Tricks:
- the chat masala, amchur powder and black salt already are quite salty so be careful to not over-season!
- it's always a good idea to keep everything prepped and only assemble when you're ready to eat!
- try finely chopping all your veggies and mashing your potatoes well for better texture!
- don't add too much chutney as it'll make your puris soggy and too little will result in a dry chat!
