Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are fully cooked and easily mashable. This will ensure a smooth and pliable dough for the katori.
- Tamarind chutney — Adjust the amount of tamarind chutney according to your taste preferences. If you prefer a sweeter chaat, add a little more chutney.
Tips & Tricks
- For a healthier version, you can bake the potato bowls instead of frying them. Simply brush them with a little oil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes or until crispy.
- Customize the filling by adding chopped cucumber, pomegranate seeds, or boiled potatoes for extra texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier chaat, add a pinch of red chili powder or finely chopped green chilies to the filling.
Serving advice
Serve the Katori Chaat immediately after assembling to ensure the crispy texture of the potato bowls. It is best enjoyed as a snack or appetizer.
Presentation advice
Arrange the Katori Chaat on a platter, garnished with a sprinkle of sev and fresh coriander leaves. The vibrant colors and contrasting textures will make it visually appealing.
