Roll out the dough into thin round, then cut out 1-inch rounds
(use a bottle screw cap). Cover with damp cloth.
-
Heat the oil in a kadhai or deep-frying pan over a moderate
heat.
-
Fry the rounds, a few at a time, until they are puffed up and
light brown all over. The puffing process is helped by placing a spatula or
karchhi in the middle of the pan and moving it gently to make waves in the oil.
But be careful, oil should not spill out or on you.
-
When cooked, place, with great care, on absorbent kitchen paper
towel to drain.
For Paani :

Boil the tamarind in water till soft. Squeeze the tamarind and
then strain.

Now add salt, cumin powder, chili powder, pepper powder and
chopped coriander to it.
-
Dissolve sugar in it.
To Serve :
-
Make a hole on top of each puri. Fill each puri with a 2-3
chickpeas and potatoes.
-
Dip the puri into the paani and serve immediately or it
will become soggy.
-
The paani can also be served in a separate container.
