Soak chickpeas overnight in water.

In the morning, rinse the chickpeas several times and place them in a pressure cooker with salt, turmeric, and water.

Cook the chickpeas until 5 whistles are heard.

Boil the sweet potato, peel it, and grate it.

Add grated ginger, green chilies, and lemon juice to the grated sweet potato.

Add chopped fresh coriander and 1 cup rice flour for binding.

Season with salt, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and roasted cumin powder; mix well.

Form the mixture into small patties (tikkis).

Heat oil in a pan over medium to low heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the tikkis and fry until they are lightly browned on both sides.

Remove the tikkis from the pan once cooked.

For the chickpea masala, blend onion, tomato, ginger, green chilies, and garlic into a paste.

In a pan, heat oil and add whole cumin seeds until they crackle.

Add the blended paste and sauté on medium to low heat.

Add basic spices like red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and amchur powder.

Add the boiled chickpeas and mix well, adjusting consistency with a little warm water if needed.

Mash the sweet potato into the chickpea mixture to thicken it and cook for 5-6 minutes until thickened.

For plating, place the tikkis in a bowl, top with the chickpea mixture, green chutney, chopped tomato, chopped onion, and chopped coriander.

Drizzle with sweet tamarind chutney and sprinkle with sev and chaat masala.
