Prepare the Potatoes:
- Boil: Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and let cool.
- Fry: Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Once hot, carefully add the boiled potato cubes and fry until they are golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
-
Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, toss the fried potatoes with turmeric powder, red chili powder, chaat masala, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices coat the potatoes evenly.
-
Assemble the Chaat:
- Layer: On a serving plate or bowl, spread the seasoned potatoes as the base layer.
- Add Chutneys: Drizzle tamarind chutney and green chutney generously over the potatoes.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped onions, tomatoes, and green chilies if using. Add sev for crunch.
- Season: Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, chaat masala, and additional salt to taste.
- Garnish: Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh coriander leaves.
-
Serve Immediately:
- Khasta Aloo Chaat is best enjoyed immediately while the potatoes are crispy, and the chutneys are fresh.
