Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes in their skins until a knife slides in easily, 15-20 min. Cool, peel and cut into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Toss the potato cubes with the chickpeas, onion and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Whisk the yogurt with the sugar and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth and pourable. Keep it cold.

  4. 4

    Just before serving, tap the top of each puri with a fingertip to break a small opening. Set them on a platter.

  5. 5

    Spoon a little of the potato filling into each shell.

  6. 6

    Pour a generous spoonful of sweet yogurt over each one, letting it pool on top.

  7. 7

    Drizzle on the green chutney and then the tamarind chutney.

  8. 8

    Dust with the chili powder, cumin and chaat masala.

  9. 9

    Pile the sev on top and scatter over the coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds. Serve at once, before the shells soften.
