Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Boiled potatoes
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon Green chili (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 cup Oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
- 0.25 cup Tamarind chutney
- 0.25 cup Green chutney (coriander and mint)
- 0.25 cup Dairy-free yogurt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Sev (optional)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 medium Tomato (finely chopped)
Instructions
Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
Add bread crumbs, chickpea flour, ginger paste, green chili, salt, red chili powder, and turmeric powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small round patties (tikkis).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow-fry the tikkis until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and set them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
To assemble the chaat, place 2-3 tikkis on a serving plate.
Top the tikkis with cooked chickpeas, a drizzle of tamarind chutney, and green chutney.
Add a dollop of dairy-free yogurt (if using) for creaminess.
Sprinkle chaat masala generously, followed by chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, and sev (if using).
Serve the dairy-free tikki chaat immediately to enjoy the crispy, tangy, and spicy flavors!
