Servings: 6-8 servings

Prep Time: 20-30 mins

Total Time Taken: 20-30 mins

Ingredients:

  • 2-2.5 cups non-fat Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 tsp sugar

  • 1/4 tsp red chili powder

  • 1/4 chaat masala

  • 1/4 cumin powder

  • 1/4 tsp black salt

  • 3-4 medium golden potatoes boiled and chopped into small cubes

  • 1.5 cups of cooked sprouts; I used mixed sprouts; check notes

  • 1/3-1/2 cup chopped red onions

  • About 1/3-2/3 cup date tamarind chutney 

  • About 1/3-2/3 cup coriander chutney 

  • About 1/4 cup Garlic chutney of very liquid consistency

  • 1-1.5 cups Bhujiya 

  • 1/4 cup chopped Coriander leaves 

  • 12-15 oz Papdi or Puri

Directions:

  1. In a bowl add Greek yogurt and add sugar, chaat masala, red chili powder, cumin powder and black salt and mix it till combined.

  2. You can assemble in a big bowl or small bowls as you want. Make sure it’s a flatter dish rather than deep.

  3. Assembly:

    • Layer half of the yogurt as the base of the bowl.

    • Top with chopped potatoes spreading it evenly.

    • Top with a thick layer of the sprouts.

    • Spread tamarind-date chutney over it spreading it out evenly.

    • Layer the remaining half of the yogurt over it.

    • Top with chopped onions spreading it throughout.

    • Spread green chutney over it and spread a very thin layer evenly throughout.

    • Spread a very very thin layer of the garlic chutney if you want.

    • Sprinkle and top with a good amount of bhujiya over it just before serving.

    • Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

  4. Serve with papdi on the side and enjoy!

Notes/Tips:

  • I recommend bhujiya over sev for this recipe- sev is thinner so it will get soggy faster. When I kept the dip out for 10+ hours, the base of the bhujiya got soggy but the top was fine which gave it the crunch. Sev being thin, will get soggy throughout.

  • I felt the bigger bowl was more fun for everyone to dip into rather than personal sizes.

  • If you don’t want to use garlic chutney you can skip it.

  • You can add boiled chickpeas as a layer if you want along with sprouts.

  • If you want, you can assemble the layers of the chaat and keep it from before. Take it out of the fridge & thaw for 20 minutes before serving. Sprinkle bhujiya JUST before serving NOT BEFORE!

  • I boiled the sprouts till they are soft and tender.
