- After resting, divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.

- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai for frying.

- Blend the ingredients until you get a smooth paste.
- Transfer the paste to a large mixing bowl and add water. Mix well until all the flavors are incorporated.
Assembling the Panipuri:
- Take a puri and make a small hole on one side using your thumb or a spoon.
- Fill the puri with a spoonful of the potato and chickpea filling.
- Dip the filled puri into the spicy water (pani) to make it flavorful.
- Place the panipuri on a serving plate and garnish with additional chopped onions and coriander leaves, if desired.
- Repeat the process with the remaining puris and filling.
