Gol Gappa (ಗೋಲ್ ಗಪ್ಪಾ)

Crispy, hollow fried pooris — the essential base for pani puri, dahi puri, and other chaat favorites, made easily at home.

Ingredients

  • Semolina (sooji rava) – 1½ cups
  • All-purpose flour (maida) – 3–4 tablespoons
  • Salt – to taste
  • Cooking soda – ¼ teaspoon
  • Water – a little
  • Oil – for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Mix the all-purpose flour, semolina, and salt in a vessel.
  2. Add water little by little and prepare the dough — it's better if it's slightly harder than chapathi dough.

  4. Cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Prepare lemon-sized balls from the dough and roll them out like chapathi. Use a little dry flour if needed.
  6. Using a small round cutter (a milk can cap works well), cut the rolled dough into small round pooris. Repeat until all the dough is used.
  7. Cover the cut pooris with a plate so they don't dry out.
  8. Deep fry the pooris on medium flame until slightly golden brown.
  9. Drain on a tissue paper for a while, then transfer to an airtight container once cool.

Tips

  • While frying, some pooris will puff up and some will stay flat — that's normal. Use the flat ones for Tikki Poori or Bhel Puri, and the puffed ones for Pani Poori or Dahi Poori.
