Aloo chaat

Crunchy, crispy and spicy all over, this Indian potato salad is a dinner party favourite. Purple onions, green limes and red pomegranate seeds make this a real rainbow of a dish

1. Parboil the potatoes for 8-10 mins until just tender. Drain and let them steam in the colander for a couple of mins. Put the potatoes and turmeric in a bowl and toss to coat. 
2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and ginger, then fry for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the potatoes, increase the heat to high and fry for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until crispy. 
3. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving bowl with the garam masala, chilli powder, tamarind paste and a pinch of salt. Dollop over the yogurt, then scatter with the red onion, chilli, pomegranate seeds and the coriander. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over.
