- Serves: 2
- Prep: 20 mins
- Cook: 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 large potato, peeled, cut into 1.5cm cubes and boiled until tender
- Sunflower oil – enough to fill a small saucepan to 1cm plus 3 tbsp
- 30g easy cook rice
- ½ 400g can chickpeas, drained
- 50g peanuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- 2 tsp garam masala or chaat masala spice
- ½ small red onion, diced
- 1 tbsp tamarind and date chutney or spicy mango chutney, plus 2 tbsp to serve
- Large mild green chilli, sliced
- 3 tbsp mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp coriander, chopped
- 4 large British Lion eggs
- 30g butter

Method
- Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a frying pan, add potato and cook for 5-6 minutes until deep golden and crispy all over.
