Start placing papdi at the bottom of your chaat glass and roughly crushing it with a spoon. Separately, whisk the dahi with some salt to get rid of the lumps and get a slightly thicker texture. Spoon this in, in a layer. The next layer is simple — just chopped onions. Take the boiled potatoes (peeled) and mash them hand with some red chilli powder — make this as spicy as you like. Avoid putting salt in the boiled potatoes, lest they start leaving water and turning sour; we want our chaat to be able to stand the soaring temperatures! The next layer is a luscious serving of green chutney on top of which will go as much sev as you’d like. Separately, pour out some tamarind chutney over the boondi till the beads are completely coated and spoon over the sev. Garnish with some coriander leaves and pomegranate and win favour with your guests endlessly! The only ‘problem’ you’re going to be having with this Holi chaat is not having enough ingredients on hand when your guests ask for a repeat.
