Date Tamarind chutney
- 7 to 8 soft medjool dates
- 1 to 1.5 tsp tamarind paste
- 1 tsp sugar
- ⅓ tsp or more kala namak (Indian sulphur black salt) or Chaat masala
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 to 4 tbsp water
Bowl ingredients:
- 1 15 oz can chickpeas or 1.5 cups cooked, or 1.5 cups sprouted brown chickpeas
- 2 potatoes, boiled and cubed into small cubes, or coarsely mashed
- Indian Papri/Mathri crackers or other crackers or chips like sweet potato tortilla chips
- ½ cup finely chopped onions

- 2 tsp or more Chaat masala (or mix ¾ tsp ground cumin, ⅓ tsp cayenne, ½ tsp kala namak, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp amchoor (dry mango powder, optional))
INSTRUCTIONS
- Blend the mint chutney ingredients until coarsely blended. Taste and adjust salt and tang.
- Soak the dates in hot water for 15 minutes. Drain and blend with the rest of the ingredients. Use water as needed to make a smooth paste. Taste and adjust sweet and tang. (For a stronger flavor profile, bring the chutney to a boil, cool and use.) If you dont have tamarind paste, add more lemon/lime juice and kala namak for a sweet and sour chutney.
- Toss the chickpeas in ½ tsp chaat masala, ¼ tsp ground cumin and ¼ tsp cayenne.
- Reserve 1 tbsp of mint cilantro chutney for garnish and add the rest to the potatoes and mix. Add ½ tsp chaat masala or ¼ tsp kala namak and mix in. Taste and adjust salt and heat if needed. If using mashed potatoes, mix in the chutney in the mashed potatoes.
- Add the chickpeas and potato to the bowl. Add chopped onions and tomatoes and crackers of choice and assemble as you like. Add chopped cucumber, apple or other veggies.
- Drizzle the date tamarind chutney liberally and the remaining mint cilantro chutney. Sprinkle chaat masala, and some lemon juice. Serve.
- Add sev if you like and arrange the mixture on the crackers to serve for a chaat style experience.
