Ingredients
Indian corn chaat
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon carom seeds
- 4 potatoes, medium-sized
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or sea salt
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 2 jalapenos, diced
- 1 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 cup sweet corn, cooked
Tamarind chutney
- 1/4 cup tamarind paste
- 1/4 cup water
Directions
Indian corn chaat
- Preheat the oven to 420° F.
- In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add olive oil and carrom seeds. Sauté until the seeds release their aromatic fragrance, being careful not to burn them.
- Add diced potatoes to the pan and season with salt. Give them a good stir and continue frying on medium-high heat until they turn lightly golden.
- Transfer the partially cooked potatoes to the preheated oven and let them finish cooking for approximately 10 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are fully cooked, assemble the chaat salad. Combine the cooked corn, chopped chillies, diced peppers, and cilantro with the cooked potatoes.
Tamarind chutney
- In a bowl, dissolve tamarind paste in water, stirring until it reaches a thick consistency. Adjust the water quantity to achieve the desired consistency.
- Finish off the salad with a drizzle of chutney, adjusting the amount to suit your taste preference. I typically use about half the amount. Enjoy!
