Ingredients
- 2 cups prepared chole chana masala or Indian Chickpea Curry
- 2 boiled potatoes mashed
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tomato finely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup plain yogurt use thick Greek yogurt or hung curd
- 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- Fresh mint leaves chopped
- ⅛ teaspoon black salt
- 1 cup thin nylon sev
- ½ cup fresh pomegranate seeds
Instructions
Layer 1: Mash the Chole (Chickpeas)
- Start by mashing the prepared chole lightly, keeping some texture for that delicious bite. Spread them on the bottom of your board or serving dish. This will form the base layer of your chaat board.
Layer 2: Prepare the Seasoned Potatoes
- Mash the boiled potatoes and mix in the chaat masala, red chili powder, and salt. Spread this seasoned potato layer on top of the chickpeas to make the second layer.
Layer 3: Mix the Onion-Tomato-Cilantro Salad
- In a bowl, mix finely chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt. Spread this zesty salad over the potato layer for a fresh and tangy crunch. This will be 3rd layer of the chaat dip.
Layer 4: Make seasoned yogurt
- Whisk the thick plain yogurt with roasted cumin powder, chopped mint leaves, and a pinch of black salt. This creamy, cooling yogurt layer will balance the spices perfectly.
Layer 5: Chutney Drizzle
- Lightly drizzle both cilantro mint chutney and date tamarind chutney over the yogurt layer. This is personal preference so use as much as you like.
Layer 6: Top with Sev
- Generously sprinkle the crunchy sev over the entire mixture layers. This crispy element is what makes chaat so irresistible!
Layer 7: Garnish with Pomegranate Seeds
- Finish off your 7-layer chaat board with a sprinkling of fresh pomegranate seeds for a burst of sweetness and color.
Notes
How to Serve 7-layer Indian Chaat Dip
I prefer to serve this 7-layer Indian Chaat Dip with store bought naan dippers. These bite sized naan dippers come in super handy and make it very filling heavy appetizer to get the party rolling. You can also serve it with crispy papdis (fried dough wafers) or pita chips. The best part about this dish is that you can customize each bite to your liking—whether it’s extra yogurt for creaminess or more sev for crunch!Nutrition
