Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

To make the puris, combine whole wheat flour, semolina, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the water and knead into a stiff dough.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle (about 2 inches in diameter).

Place the puris on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 10-12 minutes until they are puffed and crispy. Let them cool on a wire rack.

Step 5

For the filling, mix together sprouted moong beans and chopped boiled potatoes. Add low-fat yogurt, chaat masala, and a little salt to taste.

Step 6

For the pani (water), blend mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chili, and tamarind paste in a blender with a little water until smooth.

Step 7

Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and add roasted cumin powder, black salt, and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning to taste and chill in the refrigerator.

Step 8

To assemble, gently crack the top of each puri, fill with a spoonful of the moong and potato mixture, and then pour over some chilled pani.

Step 9

Serve immediately for a refreshing and heart-healthy Indian snack!
