Introduction

This Indian street food inspired dish combines crispy chickpeas with sprouts and a tamarind dressing. You could go down the full chaat route by adding puffed rice and making it more of a snack, but for a filling meal add some flatbreads or naan along with the yogurt.

Ingredients

500g	Brussels sprouts, halved
200g	banana shallots, peeled and halved
1 x 400g	tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tsp	ground cumin
1 tsp	ground coriander
1 tsp	chilli powder
1 tbsp	vegetable oil
2 tsp	sea salt
	For the dressing:
1 tbsp	vegetable oil
1 tbsp	tamarind paste
1 tsp	brown sugar
	To serve:
20g	salted peanuts, chopped
A handful	fresh coriander, roughly chopped
1 tsp each	chaat masala and/or mango powder (optional)
4 tbsp	coconut yogurt
	Flatbreads or naan

Essential kit

You will need: a roasting tin.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6. Mix the sprouts with the shallots, chickpeas, spices, oil and salt in a roasting tin, then transfer to the oven for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp and browned.

2. Meanwhile, mix the oil with the tamarind paste and sugar. Once the vegetables are cooked, toss with the dressing, then scatter over the peanuts, fresh coriander and the chaat masala and/or mango powder, if using. Serve with the yogurt, piled into flatbreads or naan.

Cook’s Note: The tamarind paste used here is the kind you get at the supermarket in a small own-brand jar – not the very concentrated paste that you get at Asian grocery stores. If using the latter, halve the amount.
