Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the center with a spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch shell to form a cup.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry potato cups 4–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

  3. Step 3

    Lift cups out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.

  4. Step 4

    Warm chickpeas in a small pot or microwave for 2 minutes. Stir in chaat masala and a pinch of salt.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each potato cup with warm chickpeas, then dollop yogurt and tamarind chutney on top.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with cilantro and a final pinch of chaat masala. Serve immediately.
