Let’s get cooking!

  • Step 1 of 3

    roast your tates

    Preheat oven to 180oC / Fan 160oC / Gas 4.

    Cut potatoes into large dice and tumble in oil and salt. Roast in the oven, turning a couple of times, for around 45 minutes or until golden and crispy.

  • Step 2 of 3

    toast & crush

    While the potatoes are cooking, make your spice mix by toasting cumin seed, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, curry leaves, fenugreek seeds and coriander seeds in a pan on a medium heat until fragrant (take care not to burn the whole spices). Crush and combine with the Kashmiri chilli powder and chaat masala and set aside.

  • Step 3 of 3

    spice it up!

    Once the potatoes are cooked, add them to a large bowl and combine with the melted butter and tamarind paste. Then add your spice mix and toss together. Finally add your chillies, coriander and spring onion and serve.
