Ingredients
Scale
For the Puri
- 12 pieces Puri (crispy base that provides the perfect crunch)
For the Filling
- 2 cups Russet Potato, boiled and diced
- 1 cup Kala Chana, boiled
- 1 medium Red Onion, finely diced
- 1 medium Tomato, finely diced
For the Toppings
- 1 cup Sev (crispy gram flour noodles)
- 1 cup Yogurt (natural or flavored)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (adjust according to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (enhances flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Green Chutney (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind Chutney (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Red Chili Powder (provides mild heat)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin (roasted cumin for deeper taste)
- 1 teaspoon Chaat Masala (essential to elevate flavor)
- 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped (for garnishing)
- 1/4 cup Pomegranate Seeds (optional for color and sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Puris: Gently tap each puri to create a small hole on the top, making space for the filling while keeping the puri intact. Arrange the puris neatly on a serving platter, ready for stuffing.
- Add the Filling: Scoop boiled and diced russet potatoes, boiled kala chana, finely diced red onions, and juicy tomatoes into each puri carefully, balancing to avoid breakage.
- Add the Sev Crunch: Push some sev into each puri for an initial layer of crunchy texture inside the filling.
- Drizzle Yogurt and Chutneys: Generously drizzle creamy yogurt over the filled puris, followed by spoonfuls of spicy green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney to add layers of tangy and sweet flavors.
- Sprinkle Spices: Evenly sprinkle Kashmiri red chili powder, roasted ground cumin, and chaat masala over the top to provide a burst of complex, spicy flavor that defines this snack.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by adding chopped cilantro and pomegranate seeds for freshness and a pop of color. Top with leftover sev to add extra crunch just before serving.
Notes
- For best results, prepare the puris just before serving to maintain maximum crunchiness.
- You can adjust the sugar in the yogurt as per your taste preference for sweetness.
- Substitute kala chana with boiled chickpeas or sprouts if unavailable.
- Use homemade chutneys for the freshest flavors or choose good quality store-bought ones.
- Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the puris from becoming soggy.
