                                          Pani Puri for Dehydration

Summers are here, and so the problems of dehydration. Often we dont feel like eating. Though when i come back from work, I feel like snacking ...

yesterday out of desperate attempt to finish left over pani puri.. i found this method.
A lemonade and puri.. Ah! delicious.

here it goes:
Pani puri pack: As much required: buy from grocery store.
lemonade: In a litre water, add 3tsf sugar, 2 lemons juice, pinch of rocksalt (common salt will do too)

puncture the puri with thumb, fill with lemonade and enjoy.
