Ingredients

Boiled potatoes, pealed and diced: 2 cups

Chopped onion: 1/4 cup

Chopped green chilly: 1 tbsp

Yellow chilly powder: 1 tsp

Chaat masala: 1 tbsp

Lemon juice: 1 lemon

Chopped fresh coriander: 1/4 cup

Chopped fresh mint: 2 tbsp

Plain flour: 2 tbsp

Spring roll pastry: 8 pieces

Oil to fry

Mint and green chilly chuntey: 1 serving

Method

Put boiled and diced potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add in chopped onion, chopped green chilly, yellow chilly powder, chaat masala, coriander chopped, lemon juice and chopped mint. Mix well and refrigerate.

Take plain flour and add just enough water to form a paste for sticking and binding the spring roll pastry.

Place one sheet on a flat clean surface, ideally a clean chopping board.

Place a generous portion of potato chaat mix in it, preferably at one end to make folding easier. Apply the plain flour paste on all sides and roll the sheet, forming a spring roll. Finish all the spring roll pastry sheets in that manner and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Heat the oil in a cauldron and fry the spring rolls till golden brown and crisp in texture. Serve hot with mint and green chilly chutney.

Note

Potatoes could be replaced with tandoori chicken chaat.
