Prep

  • Boil and peel the potatoes. Do not overboil the potatoes.
  • Cut the potatoes into small cubes. Chop the red onions. Rinse & drain canned chickpeas.
  • Prepare the Cilantro Chutney- recipe here. I used store-bought Tamarind Date Chutney. Dilute the yogurt with a little water so its runny, but still creamy.
  • Set aside your pomegranate, sev, and chopped fresh cilantro.
  • Here are the spices you'll need - salt, red chili powder, kala jeera (roasted cumin), and chat masala.

Assemble

  • Place 7 papdis on a plate.
  • Top with potatoes, red onions, and chickpeas.
  • Add a generous amount of yogurt.
  • Followed by cilantro and tamarind chutneys.
  • Spice it up with salt, red chili powder, lots of kala jeera, and lots of chat masala.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, sev, and pomegranate.
