Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoons asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons chaat masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 2 pieces green chilies (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in a pot of water until they are tender. This should take about 10-12 minutes. Alternatively, you can pressure cook them for 2-3 whistles.
Once cooked, drain the water and allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and set them aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add asafoetida and turmeric powder and sauté for 10 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the boiled and peeled potatoes to the pan. Stir gently to coat them with the spices.
Sprinkle red chili powder, chaat masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, and amchur over the potatoes. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly mixed.
Add salt to taste and toss everything together. Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly crispy.
Turn off the heat and mix in chopped green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, and lemon juice for a bright and zesty finish.
Serve the Chaat Pata Aloo hot as a snack, or pair it with roti or rice as a flavorful side dish.
