Ingredients
Sprouts and Chickpeas
- 1/2 cup Bean Sprouts
- 1/2 cup Bean Sprouts mung bean
- 1/2 cup Chickpea black, or sprouts
Potato Mixture
- 2 1/2 medium Potato boiled and peeled
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 small Chili Pepper finely chopped, green
- 1 inch piece Ginger finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Coriander chopped, fresh
Yogurt Dressing
- 1 cup Yogurt
Toppings and Garnish
- 1/4 cup Tamarind Chutney
- 1 tsp Chaat Masala
- Chickpea Noodle optional, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the boiled and peeled potatoes, salt, red chili powder, chopped green chili, chopped ginger, and chopped coriander. Gently mash the potatoes and mix all ingredients until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth and creamy. This helps remove any lumps and creates a pleasant texture for the chaat.
- If making puri, in a bowl, combine the semolina and water. Mix to form a stiff dough. It should not be too sticky or too dry. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll them into thin circles. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the puri until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- To assemble the chaat, place the puri (if using) on a plate. If not using puri, simply create a small well in the center of each serving. Fill the puri or well with the potato mixture, followed by a generous helping of the mixed sprouts and chickpeas.
- Season with a sprinkle of salt, red chili powder, and chaat masala. Drizzle the creamy yogurt dressing over the sprouts and potatoes. Top with a spoonful of tamarind chutney. Garnish with sev, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Serve immediately to avoid sogginess.
- For extra crunch and flavor, top the chaat with a handful of roasted peanuts or crushed papdi just before serving.
- If you prefer a tangier chaat, sprinkle a bit of chaat masala and a few drops of lemon juice along with the tamarind chutney.
- To make this dish vegan, swap out regular yogurt for plant-based alternatives like coconut or almond yogurt without added sugars.
- Chill the sprouts mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before assembling; this enhances the freshness and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Expert Tips
- For a spicier chaat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few finely chopped green chilies to the sprouts mixture.
- Customize your chaat by adding other ingredients like chopped onions, tomatoes, or cucumbers.
- If you don't have tamarind chutney, you can substitute with a mixture of dates and lemon juice.
Storage Instructions
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture may change.
