Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized (boiled and mashed) Potatoes
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 small (finely chopped) Green chili
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 4 tablespoons (for shallow frying) Vegetable oil
• 1 cup (whisked, optional) Yogurt
• 0.5 cup Tamarind chutney
• 0.5 cup Green chutney (nut-free)
• 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
• 1 small (finely chopped) Onion
• 1 small (finely chopped) Tomato
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh coriander leaves
• 0.25 cup Sev

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the boiled and mashed potatoes with breadcrumbs, green chili, grated ginger, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth dough.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small, round, and slightly flattened patties (tikkis).

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the patties in batches until golden and crisp on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove onto a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 4

To assemble the chaat, place 2–3 tikkis on a serving plate.

Step 5

Top each tikki with a spoonful of whisked yogurt (omit if vegan), tamarind chutney, and nut-free green chutney.

Step 6

Sprinkle chaat masala, finely chopped onions, tomatoes, and fresh coriander leaves over the tikkis.

Step 7

Finish by generously sprinkling sev over the top for a crunchy texture.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, nut-free street food-inspired dish!
