Mix 1 cup semolina and 0.5 cup flour in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 pinch baking soda to the mixture.

Gradually add 0.5 cup hot water while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Cover and let it rest for another 15 minutes.

Dust the countertop with flour and roll out the dough thinly.

Use a round cutter (about 3 inches) to cut out circles from the rolled dough.

Cover the cut circles to prevent them from drying out.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan until hot, then fry the circles until they puff up and turn golden brown.

Remove the fried puris and let them cool in an open container to keep them crispy.

For the tamarind chutney, soak 0.5 cup tamarind in water for 1-2 hours, then extract the pulp and discard the seeds.

In a pan, add 0.5 cup sugar, the tamarind pulp, and spices (1/2 teaspoon ginger powder, 1/2 teaspoon black salt, 1/2 teaspoon normal salt, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala) and cook for 4-6 minutes until thickened.

For the green raita, blend 4 green chilies, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 0.5 cup coriander with a little water.

Mix the blended chutney with 1 cup yogurt and adjust to taste.
