Roast Indian Chaat Potatoes

Aloo chaat is a popular street food snack in India, and lately we’ve adopted them for our roast potatoes along with a whole Tandoori roast chicken. This is also an easy dish to prepare ahead, and leftovers are wonderful in a dosa-style pancake the next day. Chaat Masala is a versatile spiced salt that has no onion, garlic or fenugreek for those that are sensitive. For extra crunch, you could add some crumbled Bombay mix (also called Bhuja Mix)on top.
