Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 2
After resting, knead the dough for another 3-4 minutes and roll it into small balls.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
Step 4
Roll each ball into a small circle, about 2 inches in diameter. Deep fry them in hot oil until they puff up and are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
For the filling, mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl and add boiled chickpeas. Add roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and red chili powder. Mix well and set aside.
Step 6
For the pani, blend the mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, tamarind pulp, and black salt with water until smooth. Strain and set aside.

To serve, lightly crack the top of each puri, fill with the chickpea-potato mixture, and pour the prepared mint pani inside.
