Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Flatten each ball slightly and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
While the gol gappe shells are baking, prepare the filling.
In a separate bowl, mix chickpeas, diced cucumber, and chopped mint leaves.
In a small bowl, prepare the tamarind water by mixing tamarind paste with cold water, cumin powder, chili powder, chaat masala, and black salt. Set aside.
Once the gol gappe shells are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Gently crack open the top of each shell and stuff with the chickpea mixture.
Serve the stuffed gol gappe with the spiced tamarind water on the side for dipping or pour it directly into each gol gappa before eating.
