Mampster Gol Gappa Pani (Green Chilli)

If you're looking for a variation of Gol Gappa Pani with a focus on Green Chilli, without the sweetness, the recipe would emphasize the spicy and tangy aspects typical of traditional Pani Puri water. This version would likely be more focused on the heat and flavor of green chillies, along with other herbs and spices to create a vibrant and refreshing taste. Here's a basic recipe for a Green Chilli Gol Gappa Pani that captures these elements:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 3 to 5 green chillies (adjust according to heat preference)
• 1-inch piece of ginger
• 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
• Black salt (to taste)
• Roasted cumin powder (to taste)
• Water (as needed to adjust consistency)
• Lime juice (to taste)
• A pinch of asafoetida (hing) - optional

Instructions:

1. Blend the Greens: In a blender, combine the coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, and ginger with a little water. Blend until you get a smooth paste.

2. Mix and Season: Transfer the green paste into a large mixing bowl. Add the tamarind paste, black salt, roasted cumin powder, and a pinch of asafoetida (if using). Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

3. Adjust Consistency: Add water to the mixture to reach your desired consistency. The "pani" should be tangy and spicy, with a pronounced flavor of green chillies and herbs.

4. Acidic Touch: Add lime juice to taste. This will not only add a zesty flavor but also enhance the tanginess of the pani.

5. Chill: It's best served cold, so refrigerate the pani for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

6. Serve: Serve the chilled pani with hollow puris and a filling of your choice (commonly boiled potatoes, chickpeas, and tamarind chutney).

This recipe creates a refreshing and spicy Gol Gappa Pani that's perfect for those who love a good kick of heat from the green chillies. As always, adjust the number of chillies based on your heat tolerance and preference. Enjoy your homemade spicy Gol Gappa Pani!
