1 tbsp top with yogurt*
1-2 tsp top with cilantro chutney
2 tsp top with tamarind chutney
garnish with fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

Make the Veggie Mixture

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

Prepare the Cilantro Chutney

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

Assemble the Chaat Tostadas

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

Notes

* for vegan option: use a dairy-free yogurt, or omit.
