Tater Tots Papdi Chaat-Air Fryer Recipe
Air fried tater tots and papdi made from air fried tortillas make this an easy and relatively healthy chaat recipe.
Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 rectangular dish for assembling chaat
Ingredients
- 20-25 tater tots
- 15-20 papdi I used air fried tortillas cut into diamond shapes
- 15 oz boiled chick peas, drained I used 425 gms canned chick peas
- 1.5 cup Thick yogurt, whisked
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4-8 tbsp Green coriander mint chutney
- 4-8 tbsp sweet tamarind chutney I use my Apple Butter hack to make this chutney
- 1/2 tsp Red chili powder optional
- 1/2 tsp chat masala optional
Toppings
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 2 tbsp pomegranate arils
- 4 tbsp sev/bhujia nylon sev preferred
Instructions
- Preheat Airfryer at 360F /180C
- Arrange tater tots in a single layer, brush with oil or spray(optional) and air fry for 5 minutes. Turn them over and bake again for an additional 5 minutes or till crisp and golden
- Whisk yogurt with salt, sugar and some water to make thick pouring consistency, set aside. The amount of water used depends on the thickness of yogurt.
- In rectangular dish, spread a layer of boiled chickpeas
- Sprinkle some red chili powder and chat masala on the chickpeas,optional
- Spread the air fried tater tots on top of the chick peas
- Spread the papri/papdi(I use air fried tortillas cut into diamond shape, link shared below)
- Drizzle the whisked yogurt on top of the papri
- Drizzle some green chutney and tamarind chutney on top of the yogurt
- Top with sev, cilantro and pomegranate seeds and serve immediately
Notes
Since papdi gets soggy quickly, keep all ingredients ready before assembling and layer papdi after the chick peas and tater tots. Tater tots are used as a short cut /hack in this chaat recipe instead of boiling, peeling and chopping the potatoes.(You can boil and dice the potatoes if you dont have tater tots) or try french fries or sweet potato fries for a healthier version. I use tortillas cut into diamond shape and air fried as papdi. It turns out just as crisp as the fried papdi available in stores. You can use store bought papri or make papdi at home. Or deep fry the cut up tortillas. The sweet tamarind chutney is also a quick hack, made with Apple Butter.
