Ingredients

• 100 grams Semolina (Sooji/Rava)
• 50 grams Whole Wheat Flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 50 milliliters Warm Water
• 100 grams Boiled Chickpeas
• 100 grams Boiled Potatoes
• 1 medium Chopped Onion
• 2 tablespoons Chopped Coriander Leaves
• 1 teaspoons Roasted Cumin Powder
• 1 teaspoons Chat Masala
• 2 tablespoons Tamarind Paste
• 20 grams Jaggery
• 15 grams Mint Leaves
• 2 small Green Chilies
• 0.5 teaspoons Black Salt
• 500 milliliters Cold Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into small circles using a cookie cutter or a small glass with a rim about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place the circles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crisp and slightly golden, turning halfway for even cooking.

Step 6

While the puris are baking, prepare the filling by mashing together the boiled chickpeas and potatoes in a mixing bowl.

Step 7

Add the chopped onion, coriander leaves, roasted cumin powder, chat masala, and salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Step 8

For the pani (water), blend together the mint leaves, green chilies, tamarind paste, jaggery, and a pinch of black salt with a little cold water until smooth.

Step 9

Strain the blended mixture into a large bowl. Add the remaining cold water, adjusting salt to taste as needed.

Step 10

Once the puris are ready and cooled, gently make a small hole in the center of each puri.

Step 11

Stuff each puri with a spoonful of the chickpea-potato filling.

Step 12

Serve the filled puris alongside the prepared mint and tamarind water, allowing guests to fill the puris with the flavorful water just before eating, ensuring the crunch and burst of flavors.
