  • Mash the potatoes and keep it in a wide bowl. Just dip the bread slices in water and squeeze them nicely and take out all the excess water. I used white bread, you can use brown bread too.
  • Tear it into small pieces and add it to the mashed potatoes.

  • Add the red chili powder, salt, garam masala, cumin powder and amchoor powder. Add finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix well to form a stiff dough. The mixture will be sticky but do not worry, grease your hands with oil and mix well, it will be perfect. If you find it bit loose, add 1 tblsp of maida | all purpose flour to this.

  • Instead of making yogurt mixture you can make channa masala and make it aloo channa chaat.
  • You can skip the onions and make it a no onion no garlic version too.
