Prepare the Puri Dough

  • Combine all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Make the Puri

  • Roll out small portions of the dough into thin circles (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Heat oil in a pan and fry the puris until they puff up and turn golden brown.

Prepare the Boiled Chickpeas

  • In a bowl, combine the boiled chickpeas with roasted coriander powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Make the Pani (Spicy Water)

  • In a bowl, combine water, tamarind paste, roasted cumin powder, mint paste, red chili powder, black salt, salt, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and adjust seasonings to your preferred level of spiciness. Add asafoetida (hing) if using.

Assemble and Serve

  • Gently fill each puri with the prepared chickpeas. Pour the spicy pani over the chickpeas. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Pani Puri

  • For extra crispy puris, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina. The semolina adds a nice texture.
  • Don't overcook the puris; they should be golden brown and puffed up, not dark brown.
  • Adjust the spice levels in both the chickpeas and the pani to suit your taste preferences. Start with less chili powder and add more gradually.
  • For a more flavorful pani, you can add a pinch of chat masala or a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.
