- Peel and cut the boiled potatoes into cubes.
- Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes and sauté until they become crispy and golden on all sides.

3. Assemble the Chaat:

- Drizzle sweet tamarind chutney and green chutney over the potatoes.
- Add a generous dollop of the seasoned yogurt on top.
- Sprinkle black salt, roasted cumin powder, and extra chaat masala on top for flavor.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, pomegranate seeds, and sev to add crunch and freshness.
4. Serve:
