Ingredients
  

  • (Serves 6-8)
  • 18 small puris, also known as golgappa or pani puri shells
  • ⅓ cup (40 g / 1.41 oz) red onions, finely slivered
  • 2 cups (300 g / 10.6 oz) waxy potatoes, boiled, peeled, and cubed
  • 1½ cups / 250g (8.8 oz) cooked chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g / 0.53 oz) minced green chilis, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons (10 g / 0.35 oz) fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) salt, or to taste
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) Tamarind Date Chutney, sweet chutney
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) Green Chutney, coriander-mint chutney
  • 1 cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) nylon sev, crisp chickpea flour noodles
  • for Perfect Sev Puri
  • Assemble the Sev Puri only when you are ready to serve. The puris lose their crispness within minutes of being filled with the wet .
  • For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala over the top along with the sev.
  • Look for 'nylon sev' at Indian grocery stores. It's the thinnest, crispiest variety and is perfect for this dish. In a pinch, any fine sev will work.

Method
 

  1. Gently tap the center of each puri with your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small opening, forming a little bowl.
  2. Arrange them on a large serving platter.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the cubed potatoes, chickpeas, slivered onions, minced green chilis, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. Gently toss until everything is well mixed. This is your savory filling.
  4. Check the consistency of your chutneys. If they are very thick, thin them with a tiny bit of water until they reach a pourable, drizzling consistency.
  5. Working quickly to prevent the puris from getting soggy, spoon a heaping tablespoon of the potato-chickpea mixture into each prepared puri.
  6. Drizzle about a teaspoon of the sweet Tamarind Date Chutney and a teaspoon of the spicy Green Chutney over the filling in each puri.
  7. Generously sprinkle the nylon sev over the top of all the filled puris.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the ultimate crunchy, savory, and tangy experience!
  9. Set up all your components—puris, filling, chutneys, and sev—in an assembly line before you begin. This makes the final process fast and efficient.
