Indian appetizer recipe with mexican twist

Cold evening, spicy snacks, and masala chai..ummmm...It's always a challenge to think about new snacks everyday. This one is my favorite; it's easy and saves time and effort when entertaining guests. This recipe is a great hit with my family and friends. It reminds me of pani-poori but really easy to make.

Typically, this appetizer is known as sev-batata puri in India. This popular road-side food is made with all-purpose flour puri. Believe me, it tastes yummy. But, we are going to use multi-grain tostitos to make it a little bit healthier.

Ingredients:

Multigrain Tostitos
Coriander chutney
Tamarind or date chutney
Potato- Boiled and mashed
Salt
Black salt (optional)
Roasted coriander powder (optional)
Coriander, washed and chopped for garnishing
Thin sev for garnishing (optional)

Method:

Add salt to mashed potato.
Arrange Tostitos in a plate.
Put a spoonful of mashed potato in the tostitos. (Add black salt and coriander powder to this mixture)
Add the chutneys.
Garnish with coriander and thin sev and serve.

Tips:
1. If you boil the potatoes in microwave, add a little water to it as potatoes become very dry when cooked in microwave.
2. Keep the coriander chutney a little bit runny.
