Aloo Puri

How to Prepare

1. Boil 10 medium potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them coarsely in a large bowl.
2. Add 2 tsp salt
3. 2 tsp red chili powder
4. 2 tsp cumin powder, and 2 tsp chaat masala to the mashed potatoes. Mix well.
5. Prepare puris by mixing 4 cups wheat flour with 1 tsp salt and enough water to form a stiff dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small circle (about 3 inches in diameter).
7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the puris until golden and crisp, then drain on paper towels.
8. Prepare the chaat assembly by placing 3-4 puris on each plate. Crush them lightly with your hand.
9. Add a generous spoonful of spiced mashed potatoes on top of the crushed puris.
10. Drizzle 2-3 tbsp of sweetened yogurt
11. 1-2 tbsp green chutney, and 1-2 tbsp tamarind chutney over the potatoes.
12. Sprinkle sev, chopped coriander leaves, and a pinch of chaat masala on top.
13. Serve immediately to ensure the puris remain crisp.
