- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds ground, roasted

For the Cheesy Garlic Sauce
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Spring Onion Greens chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- Chaat Masala to taste
For Serving
- Golgappa Puris as needed
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the chopped mangoes and basil leaves. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Combine the diced watermelon, mint leaves, black salt, and chaat masala in a blender. Blend until smooth. Chill before serving.
- In a bowl, combine the sweet lime juice, roasted and ground cumin seeds, and black salt. Adjust sweetness with sugar, if desired. Chill thoroughly.
- Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden. This creates a roux, which will thicken the sauce.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the minced garlic, spring onion greens, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Heat the cream in a pan over medium heat until it just begins to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Just before serving, stir in the chopped pistachios.
- In a blender, combine the cilantro, mint leaves, green chilies, and ginger. Add a little water and blend to a smooth paste.
- Transfer the paste to a bowl. Add 4 cups of water, asafoetida, and jaljeera powder to taste. Stir well to combine.
- In a bowl, combine the boiled potatoes, chopped onion, spring onion greens, cilantro, salt, jaljeera powder, and red chili powder. Mash and mix thoroughly.
- Fill the golgappa puris with the potato filling and your choice of the prepared waters or sauces. Enjoy immediately!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Serve the golgappas with all the waters chilled, but the cheese sauce and chocolate sauce at room temperature.
- For an extra crunchy experience, briefly bake the puris at 180°C (350°F) for 2-3 minutes before filling; this revives their crispiness if they've softened during storage.
- Experiment with flavored pani (spiced water) by blending basil, mint, coriander, green chillies, and a touch of mango or watermelon juice for a vibrant, aromatic twist that complements your fillings.
- To make a vegan-friendly platter, ensure your puris contain no ghee and use jaggery or agave in any sweetened fillings or pani.
- Present the Gol Dappas on a large platter with the six fillings in small bowls, allowing guests to mix and match combinations for a fun, interactive chaat experience.
Expert Tips
- Prepare the fillings and pani in advance to save time and ensure everything is perfectly chilled or at room temperature when ready to serve.
- For a visually appealing presentation, arrange the puris in a circular pattern on the platter and place the bowls of fillings and pani strategically around them.
- Offer a variety of chutneys and toppings, such as tamarind chutney, mint-coriander chutney, and chopped onions or sev, to further enhance the flavor and texture of the golgappas.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover puris in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness. They are best enjoyed fresh, but can last for a day or two.
- Store leftover fillings and pani separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Bring the pani and cheese/chocolate sauce to their recommended serving temperatures before serving.
