Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Boil the russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    While potatoes cool, microwave or boil green peas until tender, about 2-3 minutes, then mash lightly with a fork.

  3. 3

    Peel the potatoes and mash them in a mixing bowl. Combine with green peas, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chaat masala, and 1 tsp oil. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Form the potato mixture into small patties (tikkis), about 2.5 inches wide. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, and cook the patties 3-4 minutes per side until crisp and golden.

  5. 5

    To assemble chaat: Place tikkis on plates, top with chopped red onion, tomato, yogurt, tamarind chutney, green chutney, sprinkle with cumin powder, chili powder, remaining chaat masala, and sev. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately for best texture.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Tikki Chaat Breakfast recipe?
The core ingredient in this recipe is russet potatoes, which provide the base for the crispy tikkis. Their starchy texture helps form the patties and absorb the tangy and spicy seasonings that define classic chaat flavors.
Q. How do I get perfectly crispy tikkis every time?
To achieve crispiness, make sure your mashed potatoes are not too wet, and cook the patties in a well-heated nonstick skillet with sufficient oil over medium heat. Let each side brown for 3-4 minutes before flipping, ensuring a golden crust without burning.
Q. How many calories are there per serving, and what’s the main nutrition breakdown?
Each serving contains about 285 calories, with approximately 49g of carbohydrates (69%), 7g of protein (10%), and 7g of fat (21%). This makes it satisfying yet light enough for breakfast or a snack.
Q. How do I prevent the chaat from becoming soggy when serving?
Serve the tikkis immediately after assembling the toppings. Add yogurt, chutneys, and sev just before eating to preserve the crunch. Delaying this step may cause the sev and tikkis to absorb moisture and lose their crispiness.
