Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss diced potatoes with 0.5 tsp chaat masala and a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high.

  2. Step 2

    Cook potatoes until golden and crispy, ~8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add sliced onion to the same skillet with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Cook 2 minutes until softened.

  4. Step 4

    Warm parathas directly over the skillet flame or in a separate hot skillet, 30 seconds per side until puffed.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk yogurt with remaining chaat masala and half the cilantro until smooth.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange parathas, spiced potatoes, pickled onions, and yogurt on a plate. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedge.
