Biscuit Corn Sev Poori

We had this quick and super easy biscuit corn sev poori recipe made this weekend for snacks when we were super hungry :). Just some ready-made and some already available ingredients made to work together , giving a sweet-sour-tangy taste to satisfy the taste buds :)

Ingredients:

  1. 10 salty biscuit - I used the parley monaco biscuits, you can use any you like, even the regular cream crackers
  2. fine sev or any potato mixture  like the haldiram aaloo bhujiya or the lahar aloo bhujiya - 1/2 cup
  3. finely chopped corianders - 1/4 cup
  4. finely chopped onion - 1/2 cup
  5. finely chopped tomato - 1/2 cup
  6. one large potato - boiled and finely mashed
  7. one cup boiled corn or sweet corn kennels
  8. 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
  9. 1 tsp roasted coriander powder
  10. 1 tsp black salt powder
  11. 2-3 tsp green chutney
  12. 2-3 tsp sweet chutney - can be tamarind or tomato or mango - whatever you prefer
  13. 2-3 tsp diluted tamarind paste
  14. salt to taste
  15. green chilli -1 - finely chopped

Method:

Spread the biscuits on a plate. Mix the mashed potatoes, corn, coriander leaves, coriander powder,  cumin powder, onion, tomato, black salt, salt and green chilli together and add equal portions of this mixture on top of each biscuit. Top each one of these with equal portions of green chutney, sweet chutney and diluted tamarind paste. Spread sev equally over each one of these and serve immediately.
Below is a snap of how mine looked after preparing, could have been a better snap. I will post more when again make this dish a second time. But believe me, it turned out to be so mouth watering tasty, I am sure I will make another one soon.

 Diluted tamarind paste:You can make it by mixing 1/4 tsp readymade tamarind paste with 2-3 tbsp water and properly dissolve the tamarind paste in water, or you can also make it by dissolving one ripe tamarind ball in 2-3 tbsp water, ofcourse after de-seeding it.
Green chutney: You can use a standard green coriander chutney, or a coriander+garlic chutney or a mint coriander chutney for the same. Here are some great links on how you can make it:
(I will post my own blog on how to prepare each one of these, as soon as possible, please bear with me till then)
Sweet chutney: You can use a sweet tamarind chutney or a sweet mango chutney. I will soon write to you how I prepare them, till then, you can use these links for reference :
