Instructions

1. Prepare Golgappe:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

   • Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, stiff dough.

   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

   • After resting, knead the dough again and divide it into small balls.

   • Roll each ball into small puris using a rolling pin. The puris should be small and round.

   • Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the puris until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove excess oil with a paper towel.

2. Prepare Pani:

   • In a blender, combine mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger, tamarind pulp, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt.

   • Add water and blend until you get a smooth mixture.

   • Strain the mixture to extract the liquid. Add more water if needed.

   • Adjust the seasoning according to taste.

3. Assemble Golgappe:

   • Make a small hole in the center of each puri. Be gentle to avoid breaking them.

   • Fill each puri with a mixture of mashed potatoes, cooked chickpeas, chopped onions, and coriander leaves.

   • Drizzle with tamarind chutney if desired.

   • Dip the stuffed golgappa into the prepared spicy water (pani).

   • Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!
