Churmur is a popular Kolkata street food. It's a type of chaat that is crispy, tangy, & comparatively healthy snack.Generally you will get this snack in the puchka wala's cart as most of the ingredients of churmur are common to another famous street food puchka. I also added sweet potato to the dish just to make it healthier which is not generally added by the street vendors.

Steps

1

Boil potatoes and peel the skin.
2

Chop them in small cubes.
3

Chop green chillies and coriander leaves.
4

Place the chopped chillies and half of coriander leaves in a mortar and pestle and crush them nicely to release the flavour.
5

Keep all the ingredients ready in one place.
6

Take a big mixing bowl and add in boiled and chopped potatoes.
7

To that add other ingredients like boiled chick peas and white or green gram, I use green one.
8

Also add roasted coriander-cumin powder, chilli flakes, black salt, salt and squeeze lime juice.
9

Now add in crushed green chilli-coriander leaves mixture and tamarind sauce.
10

Mix lightly with hand or a fork so that potatoes don't break and lastly add crushed papri or poori.
11

Again mix lightly. It is necessary to add papri at the last stage or just at the time of serving so that they won't get soggy.
12

Immediately transfer the churmur to serving bowls and sprinkle some more spices like roasted corander -cumin powder, chilli flakes, black salt, tamarind chutney and coriander leaves on the top.
13

Serve immediately.
