Instructions
 

Prepare the Katori Dough

  • Combine all-purpose flour, semolina, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil in a large bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms.

Shape the Katoris

  • Roll the dough into small balls. Grease small bowls (ramekins work well) and press a dough ball into each, shaping it to fit the bowl. Prick the dough with a fork.

Fry the Katoris

  • Heat the remaining oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully place the katoris in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Chaat

  • In each crispy katori, add the boiled chickpeas, diced potatoes, plain yogurt, tamarind chutney, and green chutney.

Add Seasoning and Garnish

  • Sprinkle with red chili powder, salt, chaat masala, sev, and pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Katori Chaat

  • For extra crispy katoris, let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes before shaping.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the katoris; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy katoris.
  • Adjust the amount of spices to your liking. Feel free to add other spices like cumin powder or garam masala.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil to fry the katoris.
