Method

1. Spread the whisked yoghurt in a generous circle across the centre of a large wooden or ceramic serving board.
2. Arrange the papdis around the yoghurt, overlapping them slightly to create a sharing platter.
3. Scatter the chopped potatoes and boiled chickpeas over the yoghurt.
4. Drizzle the green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney over the centre.
5. Sprinkle with roasted cumin powder, red chilli powder, chaat masala and salt.
6. Scatter the chopped onion, tomato and fresh coriander over the top.
7. Finish generously with sev and serve immediately, letting everyone pick a papdi and load it with the toppings.

Tip: Keep the papdis around the yoghurt rather than soaking them in it. This keeps them crisp while making the board easy to share.
