Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 Potatoes peeled and cubed
Aromatics and Spices
- 1 Onion chopped, medium
- 1 Chili chopped, green
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Chaat Masala
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
Toppings and Garnish
- 1 1/2 tbsp Yogurt
- 3 tbsp Chickpea Noodle
- 1 1/2 tbsp Coriander Leaves chopped
For Frying
- 2 1/2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until cooked through but still firm, not mushy. This ensures they hold their shape while frying.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the boiled potatoes to the hot oil.
- Fry the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy. This creates a delightful textural contrast.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the fried potatoes, chopped onions, green chilies, salt, red chili powder, chaat masala, and cumin seeds.
- Gently toss the mixture to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices. Be careful not to break the potatoes.
- Divide the Aloo Chaat among serving bowls. Top with a generous sprinkle of sev, a dollop of plain yogurt, and a scattering of fresh coriander leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch, toss in some crushed papdi (crispy fried dough wafers) or sev (thin, crunchy chickpea noodles) just before serving.
- To save time, roast the potatoes in an air fryer or oven instead of deep frying; coat them lightly with oil and spices.
- If you like your chaat tangier, add a few drops of tamarind chutney or squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top right before serving.
- For a colorful presentation, garnish with pomegranate seeds and finely chopped fresh coriander.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder.
- For a creamier chaat, add a dollop of plain yogurt or a drizzle of raita.
- Prepare the chutneys and other components ahead of time for quicker assembly.
Storage Instructions
- Chaat is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the potatoes may lose some of their crispness.
