Samosa Chaat Smashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs baby potatoes
• ½ tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• ½ tbsp raw honey
• 1 tbsp garam masala (or make your own)

Garam Masala:

• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp ground cardamom
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp chili powder or red pepper flakes
• ⅛ tsp ground cloves
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

Tandoori Chickpeas:

• 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp ground turmeric
• ¼ tsp chili powder or cayenne

Toppings:

• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• ½ cup diced onion, any color
• 1 tsp finely chopped ripe hot pepper
• 2 tbsps finely chopped fresh mint
• 2 tbsps roughly chopped fresh cilantro
• 1-2 tbsps freshly squeezed lime juice

Mint And Cilantro Chutney (optional):

• 1 cup tightly packed fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves and stems
• 3 garlic cloves
• ½-inch piece of fresh ginger
• 2 tbsps freshly squeezed lime juice
• ½ tbsp raw honey

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Add 3 inches of water to a medium pot, insert a steaming basket, add the potatoes, and cover. Steam the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 minutes.

While the potatoes are steaming, combine all the ingredients for the tandoori chickpeas in a bowl and stir until the chickpeas are evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Place the steamed potatoes in a bowl together with the lime juice, raw honey, and garam masala. Toss until evenly coated.

Arrange the potatoes on the second baking sheet with an inch of space between each potato. Use a flat spatula or the bottom of a glass to gently smash the potatoes. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes until browned and crispy.

Combine all the chutney ingredients in a small food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Assemble the dish by topping the smashed potatoes with the tomatoes, onion, hot pepper, mint, cilantro, lime, tandoori chickpeas, and chutney (if using). Serve immediately.
