Instructions
- 1
Mix the mashed potatoes with mashed peas, cornflour, roasted cumin powder and salt.
- 2
Shape the mixture into flat, round patties.
- 3
Heat oil on a tawa (flat griddle). Fry the patties until golden and crisp on both sides.
- 4
Place two tikkis (fried patties) on a plate and lightly crush them.
- 5
Spoon the whisked yogurt, tamarind chutney and green chutney over the top.
- 6
Sprinkle the boiled chickpeas over the top.
- 7
Dust with chaat masala (tangy spice blend) and serve straight away.
Chef's tips
Chill the potato mixture for 15 minutes before shaping so the patties hold together better while frying.
Ingredient substitutions
- cornflour → arrowroot powder or rice flour
Storage
Uncooked shaped tikkis can be refrigerated for a day; assembled chaat should be eaten fresh.
Reheating
Reheat plain fried tikkis on a tawa before assembling the chaat toppings.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using too little oil, which makes the patties stick and break apart.
