Baked Aloo Chaat Tostadas (healthy, gluten-free, vegan option)

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.

What is Aloo Papdi Chaat?

Papdi Chaat or Chaat Papdi is a widely popular Indian street food in Northern India. Papdi is a crispy fried flattened dough that is topped with seasoned potatoes, chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, yogurt, cilantro chutney, tamarind chutney, sev, and masalas.

how to make baked aloo chaat tostadas step by step?

Make the Aloo Chaat Veggie Mixture

1. Start by boiling 3 medium russet potatoes. I used my Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water with the potatoes, 12 minutes on High Pressure, Natural Release.
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).

"Just when you think you know love, someone little "Just when you think you know love, someone little comes along to remind you just how big it really is." - Unknown⁠
⁠
How can I love someone this tiny so much? He tests my patience every day, but also brings me so much joy! ⁠
⁠
For all you moms who said, “I have no time”, I finally get it. Now, I can’t even spare 5 minutes to shower. Yes, Nisha - Welcome to the Club! I can’t tell you how many people sent me this EXACT message 😂.⁠
⁠
Before I became a mom, the idea of changing diapers and spit-up grossed me out. Now, no biggie. I can’t even count on one hand how many times I’ve put my baby to sleep and I get so excited to have some “me time”. To my disappointment, he wakes up 1/2 hour later and I have to start the process all over again… is he burped, is he wet, is he hungry? The days are long!
⁠
Despite the hardships of motherhood, one of the greatest joys has been watching and holding my baby while he sleeps, and knowing I provide comfort to him like no other. I’m sure he will get used to it and I’ll probably regret it later on, but for now, I am just soaking up these precious moments while he’s still little and innocent. ☺️⁠
