Ingredients

• 4 medium Boiled potatoes
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon Green chili (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 cup Oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 0.25 cup Tamarind chutney
• 0.25 cup Green chutney (coriander and mint)
• 0.25 cup Dairy-free yogurt (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Chaat masala
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Sev (optional)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 medium Tomato (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 2

Add bread crumbs, chickpea flour, ginger paste, green chili, salt, red chili powder, and turmeric powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small round patties (tikkis).

Step 4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow-fry the tikkis until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and set them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Step 5

To assemble the chaat, place 2-3 tikkis on a serving plate.

Step 6

Top the tikkis with cooked chickpeas, a drizzle of tamarind chutney, and green chutney.

Step 7

Add a dollop of dairy-free yogurt (if using) for creaminess.

Step 8

Sprinkle chaat masala generously, followed by chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves, and sev (if using).

Step 9

Serve the dairy-free tikki chaat immediately to enjoy the crispy, tangy, and spicy flavors!
