Gol Gappa

Gol gappa can be bought from Indian supermarkets or chaat shops in bags ready to be filled. It is very tedious to make them at home, as they need to be fully puffed up. If pani poori masala is not available, mix 1/4 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp kala namak, 1 tbsp tamarind pulp and a pinch of salt. Ingredients 250g gol gappa 125g black chickpeas 100g steamed bean sprouts (lentils should just begin to sprout) - optional 125g potatoes, boiled and coarsely mashed 1 bunch of mint leaves 1/2 bunch of coriander leaves salt to taste 1/4 tsp chilli powder 6 tbsp pani poori masala mint chutney tamarind chutney
