Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized (boiled and mashed) Potatoes
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 small (finely chopped) Green chili
- 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 4 tablespoons (for shallow frying) Vegetable oil
- 1 cup (whisked, optional) Yogurt
- 0.5 cup Tamarind chutney
- 0.5 cup Green chutney (nut-free)
- 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
- 1 small (finely chopped) Tomato
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh coriander leaves
- 0.25 cup Sev
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with breadcrumbs, green chili, grated ginger, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth dough.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small, round, and slightly flattened patties (tikkis).
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the patties in batches until golden and crisp on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove onto a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
To assemble the chaat, place 2–3 tikkis on a serving plate.
Top each tikki with a spoonful of whisked yogurt (omit if vegan), tamarind chutney, and nut-free green chutney.
Sprinkle chaat masala, finely chopped onions, tomatoes, and fresh coriander leaves over the tikkis.
Finish by generously sprinkling sev over the top for a crunchy texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, nut-free street food-inspired dish!
