Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces store-bought puris
- 2 medium boiled potatoes
- 1 cup boiled chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons raw mango chutney
- 0.25 cup chopped coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon chat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon black salt
- 2 tablespoons tamarind paste
- 0.5 cup mint leaves
- 1 piece green chili
- 1 tablespoon jaggery
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add boiled chickpeas to the potatoes and mash them slightly, leaving some chickpeas whole for texture.
Mix in 1 tablespoon of raw mango chutney, 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, cumin powder, coriander powder, chat masala, and black salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set the filling aside.
In a blender, combine the mint leaves, green chili, and remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves with 2 cups of water. Blend until smooth.
Strain the mint mixture into a large bowl to remove any solids. Add tamarind paste, jaggery, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until jaggery dissolves completely. Taste and adjust seasoning and spices as per your preference.
Add the remaining 1 cup of water to the spiced water and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
To serve, gently poke a hole in the center of each puri with a fingertip.
Fill each puri halfway with approximately 1 teaspoon of the potato-chickpea filling.
Finally, pour a small amount of the prepared spicy tangy water into each puri individually, and enjoy immediately.
