Ingredients

• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoons asafoetida (hing)
• 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons chaat masala
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• 2 pieces green chilies (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in a pot of water until they are tender. This should take about 10-12 minutes. Alternatively, you can pressure cook them for 2-3 whistles.

Step 2

Once cooked, drain the water and allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and set them aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add asafoetida and turmeric powder and sauté for 10 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 5

Add the boiled and peeled potatoes to the pan. Stir gently to coat them with the spices.

Step 6

Sprinkle red chili powder, chaat masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, and amchur over the potatoes. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly mixed.

Step 7

Add salt to taste and toss everything together. Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly crispy.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and mix in chopped green chilies, fresh coriander leaves, and lemon juice for a bright and zesty finish.

Step 9

Serve the Chaat Pata Aloo hot as a snack, or pair it with roti or rice as a flavorful side dish.
