Whisk the yogurt well with a little sugar for a creamy texture and a slightly sweet taste.
Chutneys – Just like other chaat recipes, this tater tot chaat also uses green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. You can also buy bottles of chutneys.
If you like to make it a little spicy, you can add in a little garlic chutney too.

Others -Top the chaat with finely chopped onions, green chilies, and chopped cilantro.
Pomegranate kernels are also a great topping.
How To Make Tater Tots Chaat
Deep fry 10 oz (300 g), tater tots, in hot oil until browned and crispy.
Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Note – You can air fry or bake the tots instead of frying them for a healthy version.
Arrange the tater tots on a serving platter in a single layer.
Top with 1 cup warm ragda (or chole).
Pour ½ chilled yogurt whisked with 1 teaspoon sugar on top.
Top with 2 tablespoon chilled coriander mint chutney and 2 tablespoon chilled tamarind chutney.
Note – You can adjust the chutneys as per your liking.
If you like your chaat spicy, then add more green chutney and if you like it sweet and tangy, then add more tamarind chutney.
Now dress the chat with 2 tablespoon chopped onions, ½ teaspoon chopped green chilies, ½ teaspoon chaat masala, ¼ teaspoon roasted cumin powder, ¼ teaspoon red chili powder, and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately.
Note – You can also top the chaat with a few pomegranate seeds for a nice vibrant color.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Tater Tot Chaat on a rainy day with a hot cup of chai or coffee.
It is also a great party appetizer. You can serve some other chaat recipes along with it like White Matar Chaat, Batata Vada, Bhel Puri, etc
Storage Suggestions
Tater Tots Chaat tastes the best when served fresh, as the tater tots get soggy if kept for longer.
Fry the tots in fresh batches and assemble the chaat at the time of serving.
If you are making homemade tater tots, then you can store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days.
Just warm them up in the microwave before serving.
You can prepare the chutneys beforehand and store them in the fridge.
Green chutney will last for 3 to 4 days, whereas tamarind chutney will last for a few weeks.
