Instructions
- In a small bowl, using the tines of a fork or a small whisk, mix together the unsweetened plant-based yogurt with lemon juice, sugar, coriander powder, and kala namak until smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the hand-broken boiled potatoes, drained chickpeas, red onion, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle the mixture with Kashmiri red chili powder, amchur powder, cumin, asafetida, and salt. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are mixed without breaking the potatoes down too much more.
- Arrange the papdi crackers on an attractive plate or serving platter. Evenly distribute the potato and chickpea mixture over the crackers.
- Drizzle the prepared yogurt sauce liberally over the potato and chickpea mixture. Next, drizzle the tamarind sauce and cilantro chutney on top of the yogurt sauce.
- For the final garnishes, sprinkle the chaat masala, additional Kashmiri chili powder, pomegranate seeds, and sev over the entire dish. Finish with a scattering of cilantro and mint leaves to add freshness and color.

Notes
- 🌿 Freshness First: For the best Aloo Papri Chaat, it's crucial to use freshly made green chutney and tamarind sauce. Equally important are the papdis, which should be either freshly made or purchased recently to avoid staleness, as old papdis suck. Yes that’s right, stale food isn’t very good, in case you had any uncertainty about that!
- 🌿
- ❄️ Keep Yogurt Cool: Ensure your yogurt mixture is well-chilled before serving. This preserves the papdis’ crispiness by preventing sogginess and adds a refreshing contrast to the spicy and tangy elements of the chaat.
- ❄️
- ’
- 🌀 Healthier Crispy Papdis: If you're making papdis at home and prefer a healthier option, try using an air fryer. This method produces crispy, delicious papdis without the need for deep frying.
- 🌀
- ⏰ Serve Immediately: Assemble the chaat just before serving to ensure the papdis remain crisp. They will quickly become soggy from the moisture in the chutneys and yogurt, which will ruin the dish's texture and everyone you know will yell booooo at you while you cry yourself to sleep in defeat.
