Making it at home can be a little challenging due to so many ingredients, but with this easy-to-follow recipe, this should be a breeze. My creative little twist is to add corn.

Ingredients

  • 175 ml plain yoghurt (optional)
  • 3 tsp butter
  • 2 large potatoes, boiled, cubed
  • 1 cup boiled chickpeas
  • 1 large green chilli, sliced
  • 1 cup boiled corn seeds
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander
Chaat masala spice mix
  • 1 dry red chili 
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

Instructions

1. Heat a frying pan. Add all chaat spice ingredients and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until crisp. Remove from heat and grind into a fine powder. Set aside.

2. Blend yoghurt with 110 ml water until smooth. Set aside.

3. Heat butter in the same frying pan on high heat. Cook potato, chickpeas and green chilli, for 5 minutes, or until browned.

4. Add boiled corn, salt, and sugar to taste. Stir for 15-20 seconds and remove from heat.

5. Drizzle over lemon juice and toss well. Transfer mixture into serving bowls. Add 2-3 tbsp yoghurt (optional) on each bowl and garnish with onion and coriander. Sprinkle some prepared chaat masala over mixture and serve.
