It’s no surprise that I love tostadas. I eat them on average once a week loaded with all my favorite Mexican flavors.

Tostadas are my quick weeknight meal and I always use “baked” tostadas. They’re easy to whip up, chopping is a breeze now that I’ve purchased the Onion Chopper Pro.

My Baked Aloo Chaat Tostadas taste just like Aloo Papdi Chaat. It’s all that desi flavor on a baked tostada, and trust me, you’re not gonna miss the greasy papdi.

Both my husband and I loved these desi tostadas as they were light, flavorful, and delicious. Additionally, I use gluten-free baked corn tostadas so they’re pretty healthy too.

how to make baked aloo chaat tostadas step by step?

Make the Aloo Chaat Veggie Mixture

2. To a large mixing bowl, add rinsed chickpeas. Cube the potatoes. Finely chop the onions and tomatoes. I love my new Chopper Gadget.
3. Add all the spices.
4. Mix well. Set aside.

Prepare the Cilantro Chutney

1. Combine all the ingredients for the chutney in a coffee grinder.
2. Blend. You can add water as needed.

Assemble Aloo Chaat Tostadas

1. Warm-up 3 tostadas in a toaster oven at 400 degrees – bake.
2. Top with the veggie mixture.
3. Top with yogurt – dilute it slightly if need be, cilantro chutney, and store-bought tamarind date chutney.
4. Finish it off with chopped cilantro, red chili powder, and Kala Jeera powder (roasted cumin powder or you can use regular cumin powder).
