We love aloo tikki chaat so let’s turn it into aloo tikki chaat toast. Green chutney spread on toasted sourdough and topped with a masala aloo mixture, sev, yogurt, peas, and some date nectar to replace the red chutney. It’s the simple chatpata (savory) pleasure we all need in our lives.

My work here is done.
Aloo tikki chaat toast is a WINNER. Aloo tikki chaat usually consists of a potato patty topped with chickpeas, yogurt, plenty of green and red chutney, and sev. It’s a pleasure and a classic at any gathering. So I turned it into more of an everyday food because toast is always an everyday food!
To turn it into toast, I start by spreading some cilantro-mint chutney on well-toasted sourdough. Then topped it with my masala potato mixture. And finished off with plant-based yogurt, cayenne date nectar (I didn’t have red chutney on hand but this worked), onions, sev, and some peas. Things are looking fine here in Flavor Town, CA.
How to Make Aloo Tikki Chaat Toast
Make green chutney.
Simply process cilantro, mint, green chilis, ginger, lime juice, cumin, amchur powder (optional, but add it for some extra zing!), and cashews. The cashews are also optional, but I like the texture it adds to the chutney. You will want to do this in a small processor and add some water as you go to get the right texture.
Make masala aloo (potatoes).
Boil your potatoes, mash them, and add a bunch of ground spices. Use chaat masala if you have it, but if not, I’m sure you can still make it flavorful with garam masala, red chili powder, and cumin.
Assemble!
Toast bread and add green chutney. Then follow up with masala aloo, yogurt, sev, chopped onions, and peas (just place frozen peas in water for at least 5 minutes to thaw).
