Instructions
 

Prepare the Potato Fritters

  • Boil the potatoes until tender. Cool, peel, and mash thoroughly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, buckwheat flour, rock salt, black pepper, and cumin powder. Mix well to form a soft dough.

Prepare the Yogurt Topping

  • In a separate bowl, whisk the plain yogurt with rock salt and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Fry the Fritters

  • Heat the oil or ghee in a deep pan over medium heat. Take small portions of the potato dough, shape them into small flat patties, and carefully place them in the hot oil.
  • Fry the fritters until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through. Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Assemble and Serve

  • You can either dip the fried fritters into the yogurt or pour the yogurt over them. Sprinkle with red chili powder, chopped coriander and mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Dahi Aloo Chaat

  • For extra crispy fritters, add a pinch of baking soda to the dough.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little water to make it easier to handle.
  • For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of vegetable oil for frying.
  • Feel free to add other spices to the fritters or yogurt, such as garam masala or chaat masala.
