In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, semolina, and salt.
Gradually add water and knead into a smooth and firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each one into a thin circle (approx 1.5 inches in diameter).
Bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 12-15 minutes until they puff up and become crispy, flipping halfway through.
For the stuffing, peel and mash the boiled potatoes.
Mix the mashed potatoes with boiled chickpeas, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and black salt.
For mint water, blend mint leaves, green chilies, and coriander leaves into a smooth paste with a little water.
Mix the paste with the low-fat yogurt and adjust seasoning as needed.
To serve, gently crack the top of the baked gol gappe, fill with the potato and chickpea mixture, add a drop of tamarind chutney, and pour the mint-yogurt water.
Enjoy the low-fat gol gappe immediately for the best taste and texture.
