Method
0/5 doneStep 1: Boil the 8 oz potatoes in their skins in well-salted water for 15–20 minutes until tender (potatoes absorb salt as they boil, so salt the water). Peel and dice.
18 minStep 2: While the potatoes are still hot, mix them thoroughly with ½ tsp chilli powder, ½ tsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp fresh coriander, 1 onion, 1 green chilli and ½ tsp salt.
Step 3: Beat 4 ½ oz low-fat yogurt with 1 tsp sugar and 1 pinch salt until smooth.
Step 4: Pile about 2 teaspoons of potato mixture on each of the 24 thin canapé or water biscuits and top with a little yogurt.
Step 5: Drizzle over 4 tbsp mint and onion chutney and 4 tbsp tamarind and date chutney and serve straight away. Or arrange the potato and chutneys in small serving dishes and serve the biscuits separately.

Potato chakri
Potato chakri are crisp, light spirals made with rice flour and boiled potato, flavoured with ginger, chilli, lemon, sesame and coriander. The potato makes them extra tender-crisp. They keep for about 3 weeks in an air-tight container, so make them ahead for Diwali or guests.
Masala khakhra
Khakhra are thin chapaties roasted slowly on a griddle until they turn crisp, like a cracker. This masala version adds gram flour, fresh fenugreek, turmeric and chilli to the wheat dough. They are a light Gujarati breakfast or tea-time snack, and lovely with pickle, chutney or a smear of butter. You can also make them in a roti maker.
Bean sprouts
Sprouting whole green grams makes them crunchier, quicker to cook and more nutritious. All you need is muslin, water and a warm spot, and they're ready in 3–4 days. Use them in salads, bhel, usal and stir-fries. Any other whole pulse sprouts the same way.
