AsalaamuWalaikum!

Happy Eid to everyone in advance.

On the occasion of Eid, today I will show how to make Chotpoti.

I shared the special chotpoti masala recipe yesterday with you guys

And today I will make this chotpoti using that same masala

Not only those of you who are staying abroad,even those staying in the country are now-a-days deprived of the taste of phuchka and chotpoti due to the lockdown

So why not have Chotpoti or phuchka in the Eid breakfast table this time!

I have already shared phuchka recipe with you guys

Today, I am sharing the perfect chotpoti recipe with the sour tamarind water.

Hope you will like this.

Firstly, we will prepare sour tamarind water.

For that, I am taking 1/2 cup tamarind in a bowl

You can use old or new, any kind of tamarind for this

And to extract the pulp of tamarind, it is best to soak the tamarind for some time

I have soaked this for 10 minutes with some water.

When you see the tamarind has softened a bit, crush it in water to extract and mix the tamarind juice into water.

And press it like this to remove the tamarind seeds or any such flaky parts.

Depending on whether you want a liquid or concentrated tamarind extract, add appropriate amount of water to it.

But for chotpoti, I will make the tamarind extract a bit concentrated, you can dilute it if you want.

We have extracted the pulp, now we will add the remaining ingredients to it.

Firstly, I am adding 1 tsp salt

Add the salt as per your taste

Next, I am adding 1/2 tsp black salt

Next, we are adding 2 tbsp sugar, you can also add jaggery and increase the quantity

I have fried and crushed 1 dry chilly in my hand

I have taken some finely chopped chilly so that both the heat and flavor of chilly can be assimilated in the dish

That's why I am crushing it lightly

Now, I am adding chopped lemon peel to it, which brings out a very nice flavor in the sour dish

You can omit it as well if you want

Next, I am adding 1 tsp chotpoti masala

you can also add store brought chat masala

Now, as soon as we mix everything, our sour tamarind water is ready

As you can see, I have made it quite concentrated

You can make it either more or less concentrated as you desire.

To make today's chotpoti, I have chosen a shortcut method

I am using the canned dabli which will save me a lot of time

If you want, you can also soak dabli overnight and then boil it in sufficient amount of water

But as the canned version is already boiled, it saves time

The can which I am using has finely chopped carrot and onion added to it

if you want, you can keep those or just throw those out

Since it is of a very negligible amount, it won't matter even if you don't throw them out

I have removed the water present in the can, and I am washing the dabli dal with some fresh water

As these are already boiled, we don't need to boil them separately.

But as we won't eat it cold, we need to heat up the chotpoti dal

What I am doing is adding it to a pan after washing it.

And adding 3 cups water to this

We need to add this water depending on how liquid or thick we want the chotpoti to be

As the dal is already boiled

And with that, I am adding boiled potato to this

We need to add this as well as per our taste. I am using total 4 potatoes, both small and medium and slightly breaking those, like this.

I am not completely mashing the potatoes, I have made some small and some big cuts

The small pieces will anyway melt while boiling and the big ones will shrink

Next, I am adding 3/4 tsp salt

And 1 tsp chilly flakes i.e crushed dry chilly.

And a little bit of turmeric powder, which is optional and can be omitted, I have just added it for bringing a colour in the dish

Next, I am mixing everything, turning the stove to medium and then boiling everything together for 10 minutes

This will ensure the potatoes get tender

And if you want to tenderise the dabli further, that will also be done.

But I won't completely melt this

And I will make a slightly thin chotpoti today

So, I am removing it from the flame at this stage

If you want a more concentrated chotpoti,either add less water or boil it longer to get a concentrated chotpoti

Next, we will directly pour the mixture in a plate

And we will add the other ingredients while it is still hot and then serve it.

But before removing it from the stove, since it will be extremely hot, I will stir it to remove the extra steam.

But won't completely cool it down

When you see the extra steam is removed, at that stage, I am adding boiled egg to this

I have finely chopped 2 boiled eggs like this.

I am adding 2 tbsp finely chopped onion, if you want to eat it later, add the chopped onion just before eating.

I am also adding 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander and 2 finely chopped green chillies

And with that, I have added 1.5 tbsp chotpoti masala

And I am adding extra 1 tsp fried cumin powder and 1/2 tsp black salt

Even if these 2 are already added in the chotpoti masala

And with that I have added 2.5 tbsp tamarind water which we prepared earlier.

And we will stir and mix everything together.

And whatever ingredients and the ratio which I mixed with the dabli dal are completely dependent on your taste

Mix the stuff and then taste it to see if it is good

If needed, you can add something more as well

And after that, you can garnish it before serving

Or you can serve it in the container in which we mixed everything

I am adding some chotpoti separately in another small bowl

And to make it more attracitve, I am sprinkling some cucumber slices over the top

And with that, I had kept a boiled egg separately

I am grating it with a grater and adding it from the top

And garnishing with some more finely chopped onion, cucumber and green chilly.

And something crispy is a perfect combination for chotpoti

If you want, you can add some crushed fuska or nimki from the top

That will taste good too

And at the end, I am adding some tamarind sour which will look good

And if you need, you can also take additional tamarind water at the time of eating.

I am garnishing it with chilly flakes and finely chopped coriander

And that's it, our home-made tasty chotpoti is ready

And we all are well acquainted with the taste

I am not going to say anything about it today.

Goodbye for today,

Stay well everyone!

Send some blessings my way!

Eid Mubarak!
