Ingredients
Potato-Chickpea Mixture:
Green Chutney:
Yogurt Sauce:
For Serving:
Directions
- For the potato-chickpea mixture: Mix together the potatoes, chickpeas, chili powder, cumin and black salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- For the Green Chutney: Combine the sugar, cumin, chilies, cilantro, ginger, mint, lime juice, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside. Makes: 1/3 cup. (See Cook's Note.)
- For the yogurt sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, cumin, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
- Arrange the tortilla chips or papdi in a single layer on a large platter (just like you were making nachos). Evenly top with the potato-chickpea mixture. Sprinkle with the onion. Drizzle on the yogurt sauce. Drizzle on the tamarind-date chutney. Add dollops of the green chutney. Sprinkle with the chaat masala and cilantro leaves, if using. Evenly and beautifully sprinkle with the sev. Serve right away.
Cook’s Note
Look for roasted ground cumin in your grocery store or toast and grind your own cumin seeds. Black Indian salt is a pungent-smelling lava rock salt that packs a ton of umami so a little goes a long way. Papdis are small, crisp wafers made from flour. Chaat Masala is an Indian spice blend that often flavors street food. Sev are crispy fried noodle-like snack made from chickpea flour. Look for all the above items in an Indian food market. You can do much of the prep work before and assemble last minute. The green chutney does change color if refrigerated for too long.
