How to make Pani Puri/Gol Guppa at home

Pani Puri/Gol Guppa/Gup Chup also called Phuchka in some places is the all time favorite of all the chat lovers.
Gol guppa is basically small round crispy puffed puris. The most appealing and interesting part is the manner in which these are served.
The Puri or the gol guppa is filled with potato or chickpea masala and then dipped in water and served and you have to put the whole thing in mouth.
