Ingredients
- 20 puris (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup mixed fruits (mango, pineapple, etc.)
- 1/2 cup tamarind pulp
- 1 tablespoon chaat masala
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Pani (Liquid): - Wash and chop mixed fruits (mango and pineapple) into small pieces - Blend the fruits with mint leaves and tamarind pulp in a blender until smooth - Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp - Add chaat masala and salt to the liquid - Chill the pani in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors
- Prepare the Puris: - If using store-bought puris, check for freshness and integrity - If making homemade, prepare wheat flour dough and roll into small thin circles - Deep fry puris in hot oil until they puff up and turn golden brown - Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil - Allow puris to cool completely
- Assembling the Golgappa: - Gently make a small hole in each puri's top - Fill each puri with chopped mixed fruits - Sprinkle additional chaat masala inside - Keep puris on a serving platter
- Serving: - Serve chilled fruit pani in small glasses or bowls - Place filled puris alongside the pani - Instruct guests to dip or fill puris with pani just before eating - Garnish with extra mint leaves for freshness
Tips
- Choose Fresh Fruits: For the best flavor, select ripe and fresh fruits like mango and pineapple. Their natural sweetness will enhance the overall taste of the pani.
- Chill the Pani: Allow the fruit pani to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This not only intensifies the flavors but also makes for a refreshing experience when served.
- Perfect Puri Texture: If you're making homemade puris, ensure your dough is rolled out thinly for that perfect puff when fried. The right texture will hold the pani without getting soggy.
- Add Extra Crunch: For an added crunch, consider including some finely chopped cucumber or pomegranate seeds in the fruit filling.
- Serve Immediately: To enjoy the puris at their best, fill them with the fruit and pani just before serving. This keeps them crispy and prevents them from getting soggy.
- Garnish Creatively: Don’t forget to garnish with extra mint leaves or even a sprinkle of chili powder for an extra kick!
