Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas (cooked and drained)
- 1 medium Potato (boiled and diced)
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 small Tomato (chopped)
- 1 or to taste Green chili (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind chutney
- 2 tablespoons Green chutney
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Sev (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by boiling the potato until it is tender, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, peel and dice into small cubes.
Place the cooked chickpeas and diced potato into a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped onion, tomato, green chili, and coriander leaves to the bowl, mixing well to combine ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the tamarind chutney, green chutney, and lemon juice.
Drizzle the chutney mixture over the chickpea and potato mix, stirring gently to coat all pieces evenly.
Sprinkle in the chaat masala, cumin powder, and salt, adjusting the seasoning based on taste preference.
Add the low-fat yogurt into the mix, stirring gently to incorporate without breaking up the potatoes.
To serve, transfer the chaat to a serving platter or individual bowls.
Optionally, top with sev for an added crunch, though this can be omitted to keep the dish lower in fat.
