Step 1
Mix flour, semolina, and salt in a bowl. Add warm water gradually and knead into a stiff dough. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Divide dough into 16 equal portions and roll into smooth balls.
Step 3
Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Roll out a dough ball into a thin 3-inch circle.
Step 4
Carefully place the circle in hot oil. It will sink, then float. Gently press the top with the back of a spoon to help it puff into a hollow ball.
Step 5
Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 6
Mix diced potatoes and chickpeas in a bowl. Add cumin powder, chaat masala, chili powder, and salt. Toss gently to combine.
Step 7
Using a small spoon, carefully make a hole in the top of each puri. Gently fill with 2 tablespoons of the potato-chickpea mixture.
Step 8
Top each puri with 2 tablespoons yogurt, 1 tablespoon tamarind chutney, and a drizzle of green chutney.
Step 9
Garnish with pomegranate seeds, cilantro, and boondi. Serve immediately while puris are crispy.
