  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Water - as needed
  • Oil - for frying
  • Boiled potatoes - 100 grams, mashed
  • Chickpeas - 50 grams, boiled
  • Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
  • Tomato - 1 small, finely chopped
  • Coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Green chili - 1, finely chopped
  • Chaat masala - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
  • Cilantro-mint chutney - 2 tablespoons
  • Water - 500 ml (for pani)

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add water until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing boiled potatoes, chickpeas, onion, tomato, coriander leaves, green chili, chaat masala, and cumin powder in a bowl. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. After resting, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball into thin discs (about 3 inches in diameter).
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, gently slide in the puris, frying them until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. For the pani, mix tamarind paste, cilantro-mint chutney, and 500 ml of water in a bowl. Adjust spice levels as per taste.
  6. To serve, make a small hole in the top of each puri and stuff it with the vegetable filling. Dip it into the prepared pani and enjoy immediately.
