1/4 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
1/4 tsp baking soda
A pinch of salt
Water (as needed)
Oil (for frying)
For Mango Pani (Mango Flavored Water):
1 ripe mango (peeled and chopped)
1/4 cup mint leaves
1-2 green chilies (optional, adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
1/2 tsp black salt
1/2 tsp chaat masala
1/4 tsp black pepper powder
Salt to taste
2 cups cold water
1-2 tbsp sugar or jaggery (optional, depending on the sweetness of the mango)
For Filling (Pani Puri stuffing):
1/2 cup boiled potatoes (mashed)
1/2 cup boiled chickpeas or sprouted moong beans
Salt and chaat masala to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Puri:
In a bowl, mix semolina, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Add water slowly to form a smooth, stiff dough. Knead it well for 5-6 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin disc (about 2 inches in diameter).
Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Fry the puris until they puff up and turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove them and let them cool on a paper towel.
- Prepare the Mango Pani:
Blend the mango, mint leaves, green chilies, cumin powder, black salt, chaat masala, black pepper, and sugar (if using) into a smooth paste.
Add the cold water to the paste and mix well.
Taste the pani and adjust salt, sugar, and spices as per your preference.
Chill the pani in the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Prepare the Stuffing:
Mix the mashed boiled potatoes and boiled chickpeas or moong beans in a bowl.
Add salt and chaat masala to taste. You can also add finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, and pomegranate seeds for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Mango Pani Puri:
Gently tap the center of each puri to create a small hole.
Stuff the puris with the potato and chickpea filling.
Pour the chilled mango pani into each puri and serve immediately.
Enjoy your homemade Mango Pani Puri! It’s a delicious, refreshing twist on the classic, perfect for a hot day or a fun party snack.
