For the Sonth ki chutney, strain the tamarind through a strainer, adding water, to facilitate this. Add enough water to the pulp, to make it into a pouring consistency. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil, lower the heat, and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, till it thickens a bit.

For eating the Paani poori, break a hole in the centre of the thinner side of the poorie, and fill with a little potato and chick pea and sonth if so desired, then fill with the paani and eat the whole poorie immediately.
