  • 1 large potato, boiled and diced
  • 300 g plain yogurt, whisked smooth, about 1 1/4 cups
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 green chilli, chopped
  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp imli (tamarind) chutney
  • 2 tbsp mint chutney
  • 2 tbsp chopped coriander

Method

  1. Boil the potato until just tender, about 10 minutes, then cool and dice.
  2. Drain the chickpeas and toss them with the potato, onion, tomato, green chilli and salt.
  3. Whisk the yogurt with a spoon of cold water and a pinch of salt until it pours easily.
  4. Spread the chickpea mixture in a bowl and pour the yogurt over it.
  5. Drizzle with the imli and mint chutneys.
  6. Sprinkle with the chaat masala, cumin and red chilli powder, then finish with coriander.

Good to know: Keep everything chilled and assemble just before eating so the yogurt stays thick and the chickpeas stay firm.
