Prep checklist
Yukon Gold Potatoes — boiled, cubed, dried
Greek Yogurt — whisked loose
Tamarind Paste — thinned with honey and water
Red Onion — fine dice
3 steps
Method
1
Crisp the boiled potato cubes in oil over medium-high, turning rarely, 10–12 minutes to golden armor.
11 min — timer available in cooking mode
2
Off heat, dust hot with chaat masala, amchur, and cumin — hot potatoes grab spice like velcro.
3
Plate; zigzag yogurt and tamarind-honey; onion, cilantro, lime. The point is chaos in balance: hot, cold, crisp, soft, sweet, sour, right now.
Why this works
Chaat means "to lick" — the plate's destiny.

Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
