Sawan fasting does not mean you have to give up on your favourite snacks. If you love aloo-chaat, try this vrat-friendly version of it that uses crisp potatoes, tangy lemon, sendha namak and fresh herbs to make a quick snack that feels satisfying in every bite.
3 medium potatoes, boiled 1 tbsp ghee 1 green chilli, finely chopped ½ tsp roasted cumin powder ½ tsp black pepper powder ½ tsp chaat masala (use vrat-friendly, if required) Sendha namak, to taste 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, crushed 1 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds
Boil potatoes, let them cool down thoroughly, and then peel them. Now, cut each of them into equal-sized cubes.
In a pan, heat ghee and add the potato cubes. Cook them over medium heat until the edges turn perfectly golden and crisp all over.
Sprinkle some roasted cumin powder, black pepper and sendha namak on the fried potatoes. Toss spices nicely so that every piece is coated evenly.
Switch off the flame and add lemon juice, chopped green chilli and fresh coriander.
Serve the prepared aloo chaat in a bowl and top it with crushed roasted peanuts and pomegranate seeds.
