## Ingredients

### For the Chaat
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled
- ½ cup peanuts, boiled
- ½ cup yogurt, whisked
- 2 tbsp green chutney, none
- 1 tsp ghee, none
- ½ tsp rock salt, none
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped

## Method

1. **Prepare the Base.** Peel and dice the 2 boiled potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Heat 1 tsp ghee in a small pan over medium heat and lightly sauté the potato cubes for 2-3 minutes until they have a golden edge.
2. **Assemble the Chaat.** In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed potatoes with the 0.5 cup boiled peanuts. Add the 0.5 tsp rock salt and mix gently to ensure the potatoes are seasoned.
3. **Add Yogurt and Chutney.** Pour the 0.5 cup whisked yogurt over the potato-peanut mixture and stir gently for 1 minute until the potatoes are evenly coated. Drizzle the 2 tbsp green chutney over the top and garnish with the 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves until the dish looks bright and creamy.

## Tips

- Soaking peanuts before boiling them improves their digestibility and reduces cooking time [5].
- Using rock salt is a traditional practice during Navratri fasting.
- Whisk the yogurt until smooth before adding it to ensure a creamy consistency.

## How to serve

Serve immediately in a wide bowl while the potatoes are still warm for the best texture contrast.
