PAPDI CHAAT
Chaat is a broad term for savory vegetarian snacks. This version is from Nidhi Jalan, founder of Brooklyn-based Masala Mama -- maker of artisan Indian simmer sauces (we love the Coconut Curry). Nidhi has wonderful childhood memories of eating chaat on-the-spot from street vendors in Kolkata. She likens this personal favorite to nachos and almost prefers tortilla chips over the traditional papdi (small flour-based wafers). It's a flavor explosion of tangy, sweet, salty and spicy.

Steps:
- For the potato-chickpea mixture: Mix together the potatoes, chickpeas, chili powder, cumin and black salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- For the Green Chutney: Combine the sugar, cumin, chilies, cilantro, ginger, mint, lime juice, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside. Makes: 1/3 cup. (See Cook's Note.)
- For the yogurt sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, cumin, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
- Arrange the tortilla chips or papdi in a single layer on a large platter (just like you were making nachos). Evenly top with the potato-chickpea mixture. Sprinkle with the onion. Drizzle on the yogurt sauce. Drizzle on the tamarind-date chutney. Add dollops of the green chutney. Sprinkle with the chaat masala and cilantro leaves, if using. Evenly and beautifully sprinkle with the sev. Serve right away.
