Chutney ke Aloo- A tangy snack made with boiled potatoes in tangy spicy mint coriander sauce – street food from Kanpur

Chutney ke aloo is an easy and very popular snack from Uttar Pradesh specially in Kanpur and Lucknow. It is sold as a street food in my Home town kanpur and also popular as dhaniye ke aloo .

This is a very quick and easy to make recipe . In kanpur this is made with baby potatoes. During winter we easily get baby potatoes but if baby potatoes are not in season then you can use regular potatoes and chop them into cubes.

The main taste of these chutney wale aloo is from the super spicy and tangy green chutney , which is the highlight of this chaat. This chutney is made spicier then the regular chutney we make at home. The chutney ke aloo sold in Kanpur are very spicy and tangy.

The base of this chutney is same like the regular green coriander, mint , green chilies, cumin, asafoetida but for sourness the street vendors prefer to use kaitha/ wood apple . Kaitha gives a nice sourness as well makes the chutney creamy and thick which easily stick on the potatoes. If you don’t get kaitha then you can use mango powder, raw mangoes, lemon juice or what ever is easily available for tanginess ,but then add few boiled potatoes cubes in the chutney for the creamy thick texture.

I have already posted the recipe of making kaitha chutney few days back on my blog, you can check it.
