Gol Gapay is a really mouthwatering street snack in India and Pakistan, this is also known as pani puri. Gol gappe is a combination of sweet and sour tastes.
Gol Gappay are a little tricky to make at home, maybe you cannot make them on the first attempt. But don’t be disheartened and try once more and finally, you will succeed.
This is my proven Gol Gapay recipe and I have made it several times; with 1 cup flour, you can make 20-25 gol gapay.
Follow the recipe carefully for a good result.
Step by Step Gol Gappe Recipe
Ingredients
- Chaki ka aata 1 cup
- Salt ¼ tsp
- Water for kneading
Instructions
- Mix salt in flour and knead it with water.
- Put the dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth for 2 hours.
- Make small balls out of dough and roll at the working surface by dusting flour. Roll out very thin, even you can see the surface under the rolled dough.
- Cut with a cookie cutter in your required size. Cover it again with a wet cloth.
- Heat up oil in a wok. Keep the flame medium-high.
- When the oil is heat up add one puri in it and press it with a frying spoon. It will puff up when you press, flip over the side, fry another side for a few minutes and remove from oil.
- In the same way make all gol gappay.
Note: Cover the dough with a damp cloth even while rolling the puris.
After cutting puries when you fry them one by one, keep the other puries covered with a damp cloth, don’t let them dry it. If the puries get dry they will not puff up.
