Ingredients
1 cup sooji (semolina)
2 tbsp maida (all-purpose flour)
A pinch of baking soda
Warm water (as needed)
Oil (for deep frying)
Method
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, add sooji, maida, and baking soda.
Make dough: Gradually add warm water and knead until you get a soft but slightly stiff dough (not sticky).
Cover it and let it rest for 30 minutes (helps sooji absorb water).
Roll & cut: Roll out small portions of the dough into a thin sheet.
Use a round cutter, lid, or small bowl to cut small puris.
Fry: Heat oil on medium-high flame.
Add puris one by one, press gently with a slotted spoon so they puff up.
Fry until golden and crisp.
Cool: Remove on tissue paper and let cool.
Now your gol gappay puris are ready to fill with imli pani, aloo chaat, or chickpeas. 🌸
**Ingredients**
1 cup imli (tamarind pulp) (soak tamarind in warm water & strain)
4 cups cold water
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black salt (kala namak)
1 tsp regular salt (or to taste)
1 tbsp sugar or jaggery (optional, for balance)
Fresh mint leaves (a handful, crushed or blended)
1–2 green chilies (crushed, optional for spice)
Method
In a big bowl, mix the imli pulp with water.
Add cumin powder, chili powder, salts, sugar, and stir well.
Crush mint leaves (and green chilies if you like it spicy) and mix them in.
Taste and adjust seasoning — it should be tangy, spicy, and refreshing.
Chill in the fridge before serving.
