**Instructions:**


1. **Prepare Gol Gappa Shells:**

   - In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

   - After resting, knead the dough again and divide it into small lemon-sized balls.

   - Roll out each ball into a thin circle.

   - Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry the rolled out dough circles until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove and drain excess oil on a paper towel.


2. **Prepare Pani (Spiced Water):**

   - In a blender, combine mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger, tamarind paste, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt.

   - Blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed.

   - Strain the mixture into a large bowl.

   - Add chilled water to the strained mixture and mix well. Adjust seasoning according to taste. Refrigerate until serving.


3. **Prepare Filling:**

   - In a bowl, mix together boiled and mashed potatoes, boiled chickpeas, chopped onion, chopped tomato, tamarind chutney, mint chutney, chaat masala, red chili powder, and salt. Adjust seasoning according to taste.


4. **Assemble Gol Gappas:**

   - Take a Gol Gappa shell and gently press the center to create a hollow space.

   - Fill the hollow space with the prepared filling mixture.

   - Dip the filled Gol Gappa into the prepared spiced water (Pani) and enjoy immediately.

   - Optionally, sprinkle some sev on top for added crunchiness.


5. **Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!**


Gol Gappa is best enjoyed fresh and immediately after assembling. Adjust the spiciness and tanginess of the Pani according to your taste preferences.
