Execution Timeline

10 SEQUENTIAL TIMED STEPS

1BOIL THE POTATOES
15 MIN

Boil the potatoes whole in salted water until a knife slides through easily, then drain, cool, peel, and dice them into small cubes.

2BOIL THE CHICKPEAS
20 MIN

Boil the soaked chickpeas in fresh water with a pinch of salt until they are fully tender and can be mashed easily between two fingers, then drain.

Tip: Chickpeas are done when they mash easily with no hard, chalky center
3SIMMER THE TAMARIND-DATE CHUTNEY
10 MIN

Simmer the tamarind pulp with the jaggery and a splash of water, stirring occasionally, until the jaggery fully dissolves and the chutney thickens to a syrupy consistency.

Tip: The chutney should coat the back of a spoon once it has thickened enough
4BLEND THE MINT-CORIANDER CHUTNEY
6 MIN

Blend the mint leaves, coriander leaves, and green chili with a splash of water into a smooth, bright green chutney.

Tip: Add water a little at a time so the chutney stays thick enough to drizzle, not watery
5WHISK THE YOGURT
4 MIN

Whisk the yogurt with a pinch of salt until it is smooth and lump-free, loosening it with a spoonful of water if it is very thick.

6PREPARE THE TOPPINGS
5 MIN

Toss the diced potato and boiled chickpeas separately with the roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt so they are seasoned and ready to layer.

7ARRANGE THE PAPDI BASE
3 MIN

Arrange the papdi in a single overlapping layer on a serving plate to form the base of the chaat.

8LAYER THE TOPPINGS
5 MIN

Scatter the seasoned potato, chickpeas, and chopped onion evenly over the papdi, then spoon the whisked yogurt over the top in an even layer.

9DRIZZLE THE CHUTNEYS
3 MIN

Drizzle the tamarind-date chutney and the mint-coriander chutney generously over the yogurt in crisscrossing lines.

10GARNISH AND SERVE
2 MIN

Sprinkle the sev, chaat masala, and a little extra chopped coriander over the top, then serve the chaat immediately while the papdi is still crisp.

Tip: Serve right away — papdi softens quickly once the yogurt and chutneys are added
