Transport from your backyard to Mumbai with this potato salad inspired by Indian papri chaat, a sweet, salty snack made with potatoes, chickpeas, and crispy crackers known as papri. This rendition goes in its own direction by using pita chips instead of papri for crunch. A creamy chaat-masala-spiced yogurt balanced with honey and lemon juice coats the fork-tender baby potatoes and pita chips, adding just the right amount of funk. Top to your heart’s content with more pita chips, chutney, red onion, tomato, and cilantro just before serving. Using store-bought chutney speeds things up, but you can easily make green chutney and tamarind chutney from scratch.
