When they are cooled down, peel the skin and mash them.Now add cumin powder, red chilli, coriander, black pepper, garam masala powder, salt & black salt into the mashed potatoes and mix it properly.Next, take the washed tomatoes and cut the upper half of the tomatoes & cut then pull out the pulp of the tomato. Stuff the tomatoes with mashed potatoes.Next heat up 2-3 tablespoon of oil in a flat surface pan and put the tomatoes in the pan with the potato stuffed side down. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes start getting a bit mushy.Turn off the gas and grind the stuffed tomatoes plus leftover tomato pulp together and turn it into a thick paste.Now turn the heat again and use the same pan, add some more oil into it.Once the oil is hot enough then add thick tomato paste, a bit of salt, sugar & tomato sauce and cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes.Transfer the cooked chaat into a serving bowl and garnish it with some chopped onions, green chillies, fresh coriander leaves & Namkeen.
