Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 150 grams Low-fat yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Date-tamarind chutney
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 50 grams Pomegranate seeds
• 1 tablespoon Mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon Chaat masala

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly, then cut them in half.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine potato halves with olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on the outside, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, red chili powder, and half the chaat masala in a small bowl. Adjust salt to your taste if necessary.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done roasting, allow them to cool slightly. Transfer them to a large serving bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the roasted potatoes, followed by date-tamarind chutney.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining chaat masala over the chaat.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves, mint leaves, and pomegranate seeds for added freshness and crunch.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy this heart-healthy alternative to classic aloo chaat!
