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.
