Ingredients
For the Gnocchi
- 1 cup Potato and passed through a sieve for a smooth paste, boiled, mashed
- 1 ½ cup All-Purpose Flour depending on the potato, more if dough is sticky
- Salt to taste
- Pepper black, to taste
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds roasted and ground
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
For the Chaat
- ¼ cup Yogurt mixed with salt and sugar
- ¼ cup Tamarind Chutney saunth, sweet
- 2 tbsp Chutney green, mixed with 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Pomegranate Seeds
- 2 tsp Nylon Sev
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tsp Salt black
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes red
- 5-6 slices Cucumber
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potato, all-purpose flour, egg, salt, pepper, and ground roasted cumin seeds.
- Gently knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Kneading develops the gluten in the flour, which gives the gnocchi their structure.
- Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll each portion into a long log about 1 inch thick.
- Cut the logs into ¾-inch pieces. Gently press each piece onto the tines of a fork to create ridges, which helps the sauce cling to the gnocchi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi to the boiling water. They are cooked when they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Drain the cooked gnocchi and toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the gnocchi for a few minutes until lightly golden brown and crispy.
- In a bowl, combine the yogurt mixture, sweet tamarind chutney, green chutney mixed with mayonnaise, black salt, cumin seeds, and red chili flakes.
- Add the sautéed gnocchi to the chaat mixture and toss gently to coat.
- Line a round cookie cutter with cucumber slices. Fill the center with the gnocchi chaat mixture. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove the cookie cutter. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and nylon sev. Serve immediately and enjoy!
