  • 2 large Potatoes starchy variety like Russet or Idaho
  • 1 tbsp Oil or ghee for frying
  • 1 tsp Ginger or garlic finely chopped

  • Cilantro leaves fresh, chopped

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Peel and cube the potatoes. Soak them in water for a few minutes to remove excess starch. Boil or steam them until just tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet. Add ginger or garlic and green chili. Sauté for a few seconds.
  3. Add the potatoes and fry on high heat until they turn golden and crisp.
  4. Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, red chili powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Add green chutney and tamarind chutney or lemon juice. Mix gently.
  6. Transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with sev, pomegranate seeds, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a healthier version, use an air fryer or bake the potatoes at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes. Adjust spice levels to suit your taste.
