Papdi (Indian wheat crackers available in international aisle of grocery store) or crackers
1 medium potato, peeled, cubed, and cooked until tender
1 cup cooked chickpeas
Kashmiri chilli powder
Chaat masala (optional)
Sev (Indian crunchy fried snack available in international aisle of grocery store)
Pomegranate seeds
Chopped fresh coriander
Directions
Add tamarind to a bowl and top with boiling water. Allow to sit for ten minutes to soften, and then blend in a blender/food processor until smooth. Strain mixture into a small sauce pot, and discard pulp.
Add remaining tamarind chutney ingredients and simmer on medium heat for ten minutes stirring occasionally until a dark, and slightly thickened sauce forms. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Add all ingredients for green chutney into a blender, and blend until smooth.
Add sweetened yogurt ingredients into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
To assemble papdi chaat, create one layer of papdi crackers on a plate. Top crackers with a handful of potatoes, and chickpeas and covered with a generous spoonful or two of sweetened yogurt to cover.
Drizzle tamarind and green chutneys all over the yogurt, and garnish with a sprinkling of Kashmiri chili, chaat masala, sev, pomegranate seeds, and coriander. Enjoy right away :)
