Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil Matar and Aloo
Add 1 cup of matar (dried green peas) and 2-3 medium potatoes (cut into halves) to a pressure cooker. Pour 3 cups of water, ensuring the ingredients are submerged, and add 1 tsp of salt.
Step 2: Pressure Cook
Close the pressure cooker and cook for 4 whistles until the matar and potatoes are tender.
Step 3: Dry Roast Spices for Masala
In a pan, add 6-7 dried red chillies, 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds, and 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds. Dry roast them over medium heat until fragrant and slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Grind Spices
Transfer the roasted spices to a traditional grinding stone (or a mixer grinder) and grind them into a coarse powder. This is your homemade panipuri masala.
Step 5: Prepare the Base Mixture
In a bowl, add the boiled matar and potatoes. Mash the potatoes lightly with your hands. Add 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder.
Step 6: Mix Thoroughly
Mix all ingredients well with your hands until the potatoes are mashed and thoroughly combined with the matar.
Step 7: Assemble the Chaat (First Layer)
Take a serving leaf bowl. Add a generous portion of the matar and aloo mixture. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the freshly prepared panipuri masala and 1/2 tsp of black salt over it.
Step 8: Add Wet Ingredients
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of curd and 1 tablespoon of tamarind chutney over the mixture.
Step 9: Add Fresh Toppings
Top with 1/4 cup of chopped onions, 1 tsp of chopped green chillies, 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds, 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, and 1/4 cup of sev.
Step 10: Serve
The delicious Jharkhandi Chola Chat is now ready to be served and enjoyed.
