Ingredients
For the Gluten-Free Soya Puris
- 1 cup Soya Flour finely ground, from soya chunks
- 2 tbsp Semolina
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil or canola
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup Water add gradually to form a firm dough
- Oil Vegetable Oil for deep frying
For the Filling (Choose your favorite options)
- Potatoes as needed, mashed
- Onion as needed, chopped
- Coriander as needed
- Tamarind Chutney as needed
- Mint-Cilantro Chutney as needed
For the Pani (Water)
- Pani as needed, spicy or sweet pani recipes are widely available online.
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine soya chunk flour, semolina, oil, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a firm, non-sticky dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Roll and Fry the Puris
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin, round disc (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat. Carefully drop the puris into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until the puris puff up and turn golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble the Gol Gappa
- Once the puris have cooled slightly, gently fill them with your choice of stuffing (mashed potatoes, onions, cilantro). You can add a spoonful of tamarind chutney and mint-cilantro chutney.
- Pour your preferred pani (water) into each puri just before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Gol Gappa
- For extra crispy puris, let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes after kneading.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying the puris; fry in batches for even browning and crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of salt and spices in the dough and pani to your liking.
- Experiment with different fillings and chutneys to create your own unique Gol Gappa combinations.
