Ingredients

FOR BREAD KATORIS

4 - Bread slices

FILLING

2 small Potatoes diced and sautéed in spices
¼ cup Boiled chickpeas sautéed in spices
1 medium Tomato diced
1 medium Onion diced
¼ cup Green Chutney
¼ cup Tamarind Chutney
¼ cup Whisked Curd
2 medium Green chilies finely chopped
¼ cup Bean sprouts
3 tablespoons Thin Sev
3 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds
3 tablespoons Cilantro Leaves
1 tablespoon Chaat Masala

Instructions

MAKE KATORIS

Cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
Flatten pieces of bread with a rolling pin.
Roll the bread once or twice into a thin square. Flip and roll both ways.
Take a tart mold and press the bread into the mold.
Press the sides of the bread slice firmly against the mold's side. Push it down with the opposite thumb so that the bread fits into each groove of the mold.
Bake the bread in an airfryer for 5-7 minutes @ 350°F.
Keep a watchful eye as the bread may get burned quickly.
After the bread katoris are baked, remove the tart mold carefully from the airfryer. Let it rest for 2 minutes, then unmold the katoris from the mold.
They will slide out easily. If they are stuck, then use a butter knife and carefully run it around the mold ( run it slowly without damaging the baked bread).
Your baked bread katoris are ready to be filled.

FILL THE KATOORIS

Top each Katori with your favorite chaat toppings.
Add the chutneys, whisked curd, sprouts, and green chilies.
Finish it with some cilantro leaves and chaat masala. Serve immediately.
