Ingredients

• 12 piece papadum ( fried and poked )
• 200 g Potato ( boiled and mashed )
• 100 g Chickpea ( cooked )
• 250 ml yogurt Indian ( whisked smooth )
• 2 tbsp tamarind paste ( thinned with water )
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar ( for the chutney )
• 1 piece Fresh cilantro ( chopped )
• 0.5 piece Mint fresh ( leaves blended )
• 1 piece Thai chili ( seeded and blended )
• 15 ml Lime juice ( squeezed )
• 0.5 piece Pomegranate ( seeds )
• 1 tsp Cumin ground
• 1 pinch Hot pepper en poudre
• 2 pinch Gray sea salt
• 50 g Sev (Chickpea flour noodles)

Instructions

1. Stuffing preparation

   Boil potatoes until tender. Peel and mash roughly with a fork to keep some texture. Mix with cooked chickpeas, a pinch of salt, and a dash of chili powder.

2. Chutney making

   Blend fresh coriander, mint, Thai chili, and lime juice to get a smooth green sauce. Separately, thin the tamarind paste with a little warm water and brown sugar until syrupy.

3. Yogurt preparation

   Whisk the Indian yogurt vigorously until perfectly smooth. Add ground cumin and a pinch of salt. The yogurt should be fluid enough to pour easily but thick enough not to soak the shells immediately.

4. Quick assembly

   Gently pierce the top of the papadums (or puri). Fill with the potato-chickpea mixture. Pour a spoonful of green chutney, one of tamarind, then fill generously with yogurt. Finish with pomegranate seeds and sprinkle generously with sev for crunch.

Chef's tips

• Do not assemble in advance: the shells absorb the yogurt's moisture and lose their crunch within minutes.
• If using flat papadums, flash-fry them so they puff up before poking them.

Storage

The filling and sauces can be kept refrigerated for 48 hours separately. Assembly must be eaten immediately.
