Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Nepali
Ingredients: 100 g puffed rice; 1 piece potato (boiled and cubed); 60 g cooked chickpeas (boiled); 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped); 1 piece tomato (finely chopped); 2 piece green chilli (chopped); 2 tbsp tamarind pulp; 1 piece lemon (juiced); 1 tsp chatpate masala (or roasted cumin-chilli mix); 2 tbsp coriander leaves (chopped); salt (to taste)

1

Boil the potato and chickpeas

Boil the potato and chickpeas separately until tender, then drain and cool.

10 min

2

Make the tangy base

In a large bowl, mix the tamarind pulp, lemon juice, chatpate masala and salt into a runny dressing.

3

Add the vegetables

Add the boiled potato, chickpeas, onion, tomato and green chilli to the dressing and toss well.

4

Fold in the puffed rice

Add the puffed rice just before serving and toss everything together quickly.

Add the puffed rice at the very last moment — it turns soggy fast once it meets the wet dressing.

5

Garnish and serve

Scatter over the coriander and serve immediately in a bowl or paper cone, eaten with a small flat spoon.
