Fatafat Sev Cutlet (Quick Version)

One thing that I am missing here for sure is chat items sold in carts or bhandars. Back in hyderabad, on almost every rainy day we used to make it a point to eat chats, yummy cutlets, pani poori......mouth watering!! or atleast mirchi/jalapino bajji. Though the ingredients used are same, chat taste does vary from one cart person to another. I have truly relished the taste of chat in gokul bhandar, koti, hyderabad. Well when there is a will, there can be a way....then why not make that yummy chat out here in our kitchen and enjoy!

This is a very quick and an instant recipe for sev cutlet. Main item of this cutlet is chole aloo curry (recipe shared below) and the chutneys.

Ingredients

Chole Aloo Masala curry - 1 cup

Crushed pani poori pieces (optional) - 1/4 cup

Sev / Aloo bhujia - 1/4 cup

Beaten Yogurt - 3 spoons

Red chilly powder - 1 spoon

Green chillies - 3 number

Fresh Mint leaves crushed - 2 tspoons

Onions finely chopped - as per taste

Red tangy Chutney - 2 spoons

Green chutney - 2 spoons

Corainder leaves - as desired for garnishing

Procedure
Red Chutney

Take little tamarind almost equivalent to one lemon size, cook tamarind with little water in microwave for about 3 minutes and extract the pulp. Now take a shallow fry pan, add tamarind pulp to it and add little jaggery amount equivalent to a (quarter dollar/ one rupee coin) and let them cook on a low flame. Once jaggery melts, stir the tamarind pulp well and add a spoon of chilly powder. Red chutney is ready in a jiffy.

Green Chutney

Quickly wash green chillies, mint and coriander leaves and put them all in a mixie jar. Now grind them all in to a soft paste and your green chutney is ready.

Now comes the actual tricky part. For any chat, arrangement of the ingredients in layers and the presentation plays a major role. As we have all ingredients ready we can do it fatafat (desi word to say quickly) and much like a professional chat chef :).
