Roast Potato Aloo Chaat Recipe

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Peel potatoes and cut into quarter chunks, then add to a large pot and cover just enough water. Season with a big pinch of salt and boil potatoes until fork tender. Drain the potatoes and fluff well inside the pot. Tip the potatoes back into the strainer to air dry.

Grab a large rimmed baking dish, add enough oil to cover the surface, then spoon in the butter/ghee and slide into the oven for 10 mins or until the oil is hot.

Very carefully remove the hot tray of oil onto the stove top and carefully drop in the potatoes, it should sizzle. Use tongs to toss the potatoes in oil. Roast for 20 mins, removing and flipping for 1-1 ½ hours or until crispy golden.

In the meantime, make the zesty lime yoghurt by combining your yoghurt and lime with salt and leaving it in the fridge. Finely slice red onion and coriander for garnishes.

When the potatoes look golden dollop in the Patak’s squeezy paste, mango chutney, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss, return to the oven for 10 mins to let everything sizzle. Then remove and add sliced onions in the tray and toss.

Swoosh all the lime yoghurt onto a big serving plate, top with crispy potatoes, garnish with pomegranate seeds, red onion, coriander and serve with mango chutney on the side.
