Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1/2 inch neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry papad wafers 15 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towels.

  3. Step 3

    Stir together yogurt, tamarind paste, and a pinch of salt and cumin until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Lay 4 papad wafers flat on a serving plate. Spoon half the cubed potatoes and chickpeas over the wafers.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle half the yogurt mixture, then half the green chutney across the top. Scatter half the red onion.

  6. Step 6

    Layer remaining 4 papad wafers, then repeat with remaining potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt, chutney, and onion. Finish with cilantro.
