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.
