Aloo chat (sweet and sour potatoes tossed in spices) with jewelled raita

Method

1. To make the aloo chat, strain the tamarind water into a small pan. Add in the brown sugar and heat, stirring, until well-blended and slightly thick. Cool and reserve.

2. Place the cubed potatoes in a serving dish. Drizzle with the cooled tamarind syrup.

3. Sprinkle with the chilli powder, garlic powder, rock salt and ground cumin. Set aside.

4. To make the jewelled raita, mix together the yoghurt, tomato, cucumber, salt, sugar and crushed black pepper in a bowl.

5. Serve the aloo chat at room temperature (topping it with the Bombay mix just before serving) with the jewelled raita.
