Method

For tamarind chutney

In a pan, add tamarind pulp, sugar, salt, black salt, chilly powder and roasted cumin along with 3 cups of water.

Bring it to a boil, simmer and cook till the chutney thickens. Remove from heat and cool it completely.

For Hummus

Add all the ingredients into the mixer grinder jar and put it on to the machine and secure it. Using the Pulse mode give a couple of blends. Now remove the top cap and add the cooled tamarind chutney. Grind the hummus to a fine paste.

In between check if the hummus is a bit grainy, If yes then blend it again. At any point the hummus is getting sluggish to move, scrape the sides to get the contents to the centre and you can add a dash of water or olive oil.

Remove the hummus to a bowl.

Separately in a bowl add chopped onions, tomatoes, coriander, green chilly, channa dal namkeen, sev, chaat masala, salt and olive oil. Mix them up and place them on to the hummus. Place the papdi on to the hummus or serve them on the side.
