Chaat

Ingredients

• •Fried dough/potato
• •Chickpeas
• •Yogurt
• •Tamarind chutney

Steps

1. 1Prepare the base by deep-frying small pieces of dough until puffed and golden, or boiling and cubing potatoes, depending on the style of chaat you are making.
2. 2Boil chickpeas separately with a little salt until tender, then drain and cool.
3. 3Whisk plain yogurt with a pinch of sugar and salt until smooth and slightly runny, adjusting with a splash of milk if it is too thick.
4. 4Prepare a sweet tamarind chutney by simmering tamarind pulp with jaggery and a pinch of roasted cumin until thickened, and a sharp green chutney by blending mint, coriander, and green chili with a little water.
5. 5In a serving bowl or plate, layer the fried dough or boiled potato with the boiled chickpeas.
6. 6Drizzle generously with the whisked yogurt, followed by both the tamarind and green chutneys.
7. 7Sprinkle with chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, chopped onion, and fresh coriander for crunch and freshness.
8. 8Finish with a scatter of crisp sev on top and serve immediately so the base stays crunchy against the toppings.
