Method

Hide images
step 1
Combine the semolina (280 g) and gram flour (140 g), add a pinch of salt (1 pinch) and then add the water (240 ml) to form a tight smooth dough. Knead for 5 minutes and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
step 2
Dust a chopping board or clean kitchen surface with plain flour (1 1/2 tbsp). Roll the dough out so it’s nice and thin and use a small round cutter to cut discs.
step 3
In a pan, heat enough vegetable oil (as needed) to deep-fry. Fry the bombs to 190°C-210°C until risen and golden brown. Drain and allow to cool.
step 4
Remove a small circle from the top of each bomb so you can add the filling later on.
step 5
To make the tamarind chutney, heat tamarind paste (120 g), sugar (200 g), salt (1 pinch), cumin (1/2 tsp) and mint leaves (1 handful) along with 120ml water measured from the empty tamarind jar, in a pan until all the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool. Season to taste.
step 6
To make the spiced yogurt dressing, mix yoghurt (300 g), milk (120 ml), sugar (4 tbsp), cumin (1/2 tsp) and salt (1 pinch) in a bowl.
step 7
Fill each bomb with 3 single chickpeas (1 tin), some red onion (1/2), tamarind chutney and yoghurt dressing. Top with coriander (1 bunch) and pomegranate seeds (1 handful).
