A delicious and quick aloo chaat, a very popular Indian street food. A chaat can be anything, and just means something sour with something sweet, and the key is that it is quick to make.
Serves 4

Ingredients
½ tsp salt
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp amchur powder (dried mango powder)
1 tsp chaat masala
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
3-4 tbsp sunflower oil
400g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
fresh coriander leaves
sugar (to taste)

Method

– Assemble the spices in a bowl and stir to combine.

– Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until soft, then drain and leave to cool slightly.

– In a flat pan, heat the sunflower oil and fry the potatoes on a high heat until really golden and crisp all over.

– Add the chickpeas to the potatoes, mixing well. Heat gently for 1 minute to dry them out.

– Sprinkle the spices over the potatoes and mix well.

– Take off the heat, and stir in a generous handful of coriander leaves, and stir well. Sprinkle on a tiny amount of sugar and allow to dissolve.

Serve with another sprinkle of coriander leaves and papdis or Bombay mix.
