By now you must be privy to the fact that I LOVE Indian street food. It's my favourite cuisine in the whole wide world and I could live off it forever. One of the last Iftar's that I made in Ramadan was papdi chaat accompanied by some pakoras and piping hot masala tea. Although the pakoras were store bought, I'll definitely be doing a quick recipe tutorial on my much loved masala tea.
I call this recipe 'cheats' because majority of the items are store bought including the papdi's and sauces. The only thing you need to make is the filling and I opted for classic potatoes. Simply boil the potatoes until cooked through then arrange as you fancy. This is a wonderful appetiser to an Indian meal or can be simply enjoyed as afternoon tea.
