Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Baked Beans:
    First, ensure you have your homemade baked beans ready. If you haven’t made them yet, follow the recipe linked here to prepare them from scratch. You can also use store-bought baked beans if you’re short on time.

  2. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
    Begin by boiling the potatoes until tender. Peel and dice them into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, add the boiled potatoes along with a pinch of salt, cumin powder, chaat masala powder, a tablespoon of butter, and some finely chopped coriander leaves. Use a fork to mash the potatoes thoroughly, checking the seasoning as you go. Adjust the salt and spices to suit your taste. Set the mashed potato mixture aside.

  3. Toast the Bread:
    Butter the whole wheat bread slices on both sides and cut each slice in half for easy serving. Heat a skillet or griddle, and lightly toast the buttered bread until golden brown on both sides. If you prefer a crispier texture, you can opt for baking the buttered bread in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges turn crispy and golden.

  4. Assemble the Toast:
    Once the bread is toasted, spoon the mashed potato mixture generously onto each piece. Spread it evenly to cover the surface of the bread.

  5. Bake the Toast:
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the buttered, potato-covered bread slices on a baking tray. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. You’ll know the bread is ready when the sides turn crispy and slightly browned, adding a perfect crunch to the soft mashed potatoes.

  6. Prepare the Onion Garnish:
    In a separate bowl, toss the finely chopped onions with a pinch of chaat masala and some additional coriander leaves. Set this aside to add freshness and zest when serving.

  7. Warm the Beans:
    While the bread is baking, heat the baked beans in a small pan over medium heat until they are warm and ready to serve.

  8. Assemble the Chaat:
    Once the bread with mashed potatoes is baked to perfection, take it out of the oven. Spoon the warm baked beans generously on top of the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the prepared onion mixture over the beans and finish off by garnishing with a generous amount of crispy sev.

  9. Serve:
    Serve your Baked Beans & Potatoes Chaat immediately as a teatime snack or as a fun and flavorful appetizer for parties. The combination of warm, creamy potatoes, savory baked beans, fresh onions, and crunchy sev is sure to be a hit.


Tips for a Perfect Chaat:

  • Variation: For an extra kick, try adding some finely chopped green chillies to the mashed potatoes or the baked beans.
  • Toppings: Customize your toppings with a drizzle of yogurt or a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for a burst of freshness.
  • Bread Choice: You can experiment with different types of bread such as multigrain or sourdough for a unique twist on the classic.

This easy and delicious Baked Beans & Potatoes Chaat is a hearty, flavorful snack that brings together the best of comfort food and Indian street food. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s both filling and full of vibrant flavors!
