Instructions

  1. Dice the onion, tomato, cucumber and cooked potato into small cubes. Finely slice the green chilies and chop the coriander.
  2. In a large bowl, add the puffed rice and fried vermicelli, then add the diced vegetables.
  3. Add the tamarind and mint chutneys, the lemon juice, chaat masala, cumin and salt.
  4. Mix briskly with a spoon so every grain is coated without the rice going soft. Taste and adjust the sourness and salt.
  5. Sprinkle with coriander and sev if you have some, and serve immediately.

Variations and tips

With what you can find here. Puffed rice is sold in Asian grocery stores; otherwise plain puffed cereal works very well.

Kid-friendly version. Leave out the green chilies and reduce the chaat masala for a milder taste.
