1. If making the golguppa puris from scratch, follow steps 1 & 2:rnrnMix all the ingredients together and knead into a stiff dough, using as little water as possible. Roll out the dough to a tortilla thickness & cut out circles of ~ 1 1/2 inches diameter using a biscuit cutter.
2. Heat oil till very hot & fry these disks till they puff up crisp & turn golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon and transfer onto kitchen towels to absorb excess OIL. Store in an airtight canister. They're pretty fragile and can break easily.
3. In a blender, combine the cilantro, mint, green chiles, cumin powder, salt and lime juice, blend to form a smooth liquid (adding 1/2 cup of water), Strain, taste to adjust seasoning, top up with required amount of water as per your personal preference of spiciness. chill until ready to assemble (adding the vodka at this point may not be a bad idea!)
4. For the sweet and sour tamarind sauce, please refer to this recipe: rnhttp://www.food52.com/recipes/10460_sweet_sour_tamarind_sauce
5. wash the rehydrated mung beans, boil them with the turmeric till they're cooked soft, but not mushy, season with salt.
6. Gather a group of friends around the ingredients. give them each a disposable bowl to hold under their 'soon to be dripping' chins!
7. Using your thumb, crack a small hole into a puri. Fill with potato, mung beans & a 'demitasse' spoons worth of the sweet chutney.
8. Dip the entire puri into the spiked cilantro mint water and fill. place the filled puri into the bowl of the person nearest to you.
9. Repeat & rotate with all the other friends until all the puris get over or you hear them groaning about getting ready to burst!! (about 6-7 per person!)
