MAKING
For the pani, take a blender jar, put in a handful of coriander, mint, green chili and ginger and a glass of water and blend to a paste. Strain it, and keep the residue aside. Residue is very flavorful, we'll use that in masala/filling.
Take a big mixing bowl, add in the strained paste along with rest all the rest ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust to taste. I adjusted mine by adding another ¼ cup tamarind pulp and salt, black salt, cumin. Pani is ready.
3. For Masala/Filling: In a mixing bowl, add the potatoes and mash them. Tip in the onions, kala chana, residue of mint-coriander and all the other spices. Mix well and adjust to taste. Stuffing is also ready.
SERVING
4. Serve it with crispy puris.
