Notes about this recipe

We loved this. I was introduced to chaat in the book Sour, that has a great roast cabbage with chaat recipe, and this went great with spicy lamb chops and rice with curry leaves. I love the sweet of the tamarind, the creamy of the yoghurt mixed with the coriander chutney, and the crunchy yummy chaat potatoes

This recipe stood out to me because of the chaat masala, which is a spice mix I adore. Even more exciting, I have some that I bought in India on my trip there just prior to the pandemic. Anyway, this dish is just as fussy as you might expect from Ottolenghi, but the outcome is really tasty, so I found it worth it in the end. (I left off the seeds but otherwise made it as written. Found it to be more than the sum of its parts, myself.)

Very nice and worth the effort. The chutneys and yoghurt are complementary and the seed chilli topping particularly good. One to make again

Quite mellow compared to the real deal but nevertheless delicious. Perhaps I'll add a little more chili heat and increase the tamarind chutney next time.

interesting flavors, easy to make vegan using dairy-free yogurt

Oh wow, I’ve never had chaat masala before and I love it! These potatoes are a fair bit of work but pack a massive flavour hit. Would make these again!

This was good, but maybe not more than the sum of its parts, and a fair bit of work for something that’s ultimately just potatoes.

Love this dish & have made it several times. I use a commercial date and tamarind chutney for the tamarind sauce, which works perfectly. Serves 2 as a vegetarian main, maybe with a light dal, otherwise great on its own as as part of a larger meal.
