Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 5 g Semolina
- 12 g Vegetable oil
- 15 g Chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 g Potatoes, raw
- 20 g Onions, raw
- 20 g Tomatoes, raw
- 8 g Tamarind pulp
- 5 g Sugar
- 3 g Mint, fresh
- 5 g Cilantro, fresh
- 2 g Chili peppers, green, raw
- 15 g Yogurt, plain
- 0.5 g Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 g Cumin
- 1 g Salt
Method
- Make the puris: mix the flour, semolina, a pinch of salt and a little oil with enough water to form a stiff dough; roll thin and cut into small 3-4 cm discs, then deep-fry in hot oil (180°C/350°F) until crisp and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, and drain.
- Make the sev: mix the chickpea flour with a pinch of salt, cayenne and a little water into a thick paste, press it through a sev-maker straight into the hot oil, and fry for about a minute until crisp; drain.
- Blend the tamarind pulp with the sugar and a splash of water into a smooth chutney; separately blend the mint, cilantro and green chili with a splash of water into a bright green chutney.
- Arrange the puris on a plate and top each with a little diced potato, onion and tomato.
- Drizzle over the tamarind chutney, green chutney and whisked yogurt, then scatter with sev, roasted cumin and a little more cayenne.
- Serve at once, before the puris go soft.
