For khatta Pani:- Make tamarind pulp and green chutney.

As we have already soaked tamarind, so rub the tamarind well using fingers. check for extra seeds, skin and unwanted particles and discard them. Take all extracted pure pulpy tamarind in a mixer jar and blend it well to make a paste/purie. Tamarind pulp ready. Now, pour coriander leaves, Mint leaves, green chilli and ginger in a mixer jar, blend it well and get thick paste. Green chutney is also ready.

Now, take a big bowl, mix tamarind pulp and green chutney. Pour in half litre of water. Then add in red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, black pepper powder and black salt (as per taste).

Here’s the dough after 30 minutes. Simply knead again, without using water. Now divide the dough into 3 or 4 parts. Take one part on your work surface and begin to roll. Avoid adding any dry flour while kneading. Keep the remaining parts of the dough covered with the moist kitchen towel otherwise it becomes dry.

Roll to a large round. Also, flip the entire rolled dough without it breaking or tearing apart. keep on rolling to very thin & even round. with a cookie cutter or a small bowl, cut small to medium discs from the rolled dough. remove the dough edges and place the small roundels in a plate without them touching each other. Keep these pooris covered with a moist kitchen towel. Collect the edges and knead them lightly. Roll the edges too and make all pooris in the same way.

Continue to fry the pooris till they become golden colour. keep them in the oil getting fried for a few seconds even after getting golden colour, so that they become crispy. Frying this way, gives a crisp texture to the pooris from outside as well as inside. Otherwise, they remain soft from inside and crisp from outside. Drain pooris on kitchen paper towels. continue to fry the pooris in this way.

Enjoy Golgappe/Panipooris with tasty aloo chana masala and spicy flavored khatta pani..

Tips: (1) The kneading is very important in getting the perfect pani poori texture. The dough is neither soft nor too much hard. (2) The pooris have to be thinly rolled. If not thin, the base becomes thick and remains soft even after frying. If the dough is not rolled evenly, then the pooris won’t puff up. (3) you can use green chilli also instead of red chilli flakes in aloo chana masala. (4) add in salt and chilli as per your taste.
