**Delish, scrumptious, mouth watering, yummmy and what not are my gol gappas:
I made them the other day. Like 60 of them. I didnt eat all of them myslef:p I also made the khata pani, sweet chutni and the chat to go with it. I had like 7-8 friends with me and the golggappas disappeared in minutes:( I feel like making em again,I love them so so much.
i made gol gappay by this recipe…they turned out to be soft in the beginning, so i had to put them in fridge for a few mins, turned out 2 b gud otherwise…
Actually i was thinking ill post the recipe along with a picture:blush: But, the second batch is gone too without facing camera:( I am going to write the recipe but excuse me if light goes out in the middle:blush:
You will need:
3/4 cup samolina(sooji)
1/4 cup flour(maida)
Salt A little less then according to taste
Procedure:
sift together the ingridients and kneed a dough which is neither too hard nor too soft. Take a piece of clean cloth. Damp it and spread it over the dough. Leave it aside for 4-5 hours. Damp the cloth again if needed. Now make sixty very small balls out of dough. Keep them on a tray under the damp cloth again. Now spread each ball. make it very thin. In the mean time, your oil should be simmering. Nothing less then simmering. Now put the spreaded ball in the oil and immediately put oil on it using your turner. This will make it puff. turn it. Give it colour on both sides . Your gol gappa is ready. Now do the remaining balls one by one.

kaala namak 1/2 teaspoon
roasted crushed zeera 1/2 teaspoon

ginger a very small piece
Procedure:
Grind the above ingredients to a paste. Add 3 cups of water to it and sift. Adjust the salt.
thanks for the recipe jalpari... can we knead a bigger ball and use a cutter to cut out small balls or will it effect the ballooning/puffing up of gol guppay?
I use a cutter too some of them puff up brilliantly some dont
Masi I heard that if you use soda water to knead the dough instead of usual water , they will puff better … I havnt had time yet to try it out …but will do inshallah after we have moved
Cutter isnt the best option i suppose cuz you have to spread it without using flour or anything. So It wont be thin enough. Or if you some how make it thin, it would stick to the surface below:p
My light was out last night so here is the filling part:(
**Filling:*
1 cup boiled chick peas
1/2 cup boiled and diced potatoes
1/2 cup pulkian(That you put in dahi bhallay and serve as nimko) soak them in warm water.
1/2 teaspoon chat masala
coriander
Mix the above ingredients.
Serve gol gappay with the filling, plain yogurt and sweet imli chutni. *
