    COOKING METHOD

    1. Knead tamarind in water with your fingers to make a paste. Press through a sieve to remove stringy and tough parts. Add salt to the tamarind paste, followed by black salt, roasted cumin powder, chilli powder and castor sugar. Mix vigorously to a smooth consistency, adding more water if necessary to get a thick pouring consistency. Set aside. Cook’s Note: In case you plan to keep the saunth for more than 1 day, place it in a saucepan and bring it to a quick boil. Cool and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
       
    2. Place drained yogurt in a medium bowl. Add salt, roasted cumin powder, and castor sugar and whisk well to a very smooth consistency. Set aside.
       
    3. Place 8 papdis in a single layer on each plate. On each plate, top the papdis with 2 tablespoons yogurt, followed by 2 heaped tablespoons potatoes, 2 heaped tablespoons chickpeas, 3 more tablespoons yogurt mixture, and 3 tablespoons saunth. Finish with a generous sprinkling of black chaat masala. Serve immediately.
