Pani Puri/Gol Guppa (Indian Snack)

This is something that I have loved since I was a little kid.  My mom used to make these as a special treat because the Puri (fried dough that puffs up) were time consuming to make.  These can now be found pre-made at many Indian stores.   The pani is a mix of spices with water.  The spice mixture can also be bought at any Indian Store.  This is optional but I think the flavor makes the entire dish.

This dish can also be found at some indian restaurants, but tastes will vary from region to region and family to family.


Ingredients
1 bag 50 puri's
1 tsp pani puri masala mix
8 oz water
1 tsp Imbili + 1/2 cup imbili
3 boiled potatoes, chopped
1 can garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
1 jalapeño diced  (optional)
1 white onion diced
Chopped Cilantro (optional)
1/2 cup plain yogurt

To Assemble:
Mix pani puri masala mix with water and 1 tbs imbili.  Once mixed place in fridge until ready to use.
Take 1 puri and poke a whole in the center.  Stuff with potatoes, garbanzo beans, jalapeño, onion, cilantro.  Top with 1/2 tbs imbili and 1/2 tbs yogurt.  

To Eat:
Dip in water and then put the entire puri in your mouth.
