Method
0/5 doneStep 1: Boil the 8 oz potatoes in their skins in well-salted water for 15–20 minutes until tender (potatoes absorb salt as they boil, so salt the water). Peel and dice.
18 minStep 2: While the potatoes are still hot, mix them thoroughly with ½ tsp chilli powder, ½ tsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp fresh coriander, 1 onion, 1 green chilli and ½ tsp salt.
Step 3: Beat 4 ½ oz low-fat yogurt with 1 tsp sugar and 1 pinch salt until smooth.
Step 4: Pile about 2 teaspoons of potato mixture on each of the 24 thin canapé or water biscuits and top with a little yogurt.
Step 5: Drizzle over 4 tbsp mint and onion chutney and 4 tbsp tamarind and date chutney and serve straight away. Or arrange the potato and chutneys in small serving dishes and serve the biscuits separately.

Yaki onigiriGrilled rice balls
Yaki onigiri (焼きおにぎり) are rice balls grilled until they form a crisp, toasty crust, then brushed with soy sauce glaze. They are eaten all over Japan, at izakaya, at barbecues and from the freezer section, as a snack or with miso soup. The inside stays soft and steamy while the outside crackles. Best eaten hot, straight from the pan. Chef's tip: let the shaped rice balls dry for 10 minutes before they go in the pan. A drier surface forms a better crust and won't stick, and the glaze goes on only at the end so it doesn't burn.

Sabudana khichdiSago with peanuts and potato
Sabudana khichdi is the dish that sees Maharashtra through every vrat (fast), from Navratri to Ekadashi, but it's so good that people eat it any day of the week. Soaked sago pearls are tossed in a pan with crushed roasted peanuts, cubes of potato, cumin and green chilli until each pearl turns glassy and separate, then finished with lemon and coriander. It's soft, chewy, nutty and gently hot. Fasting rules vary from family to family, so check yours; this version uses rock salt and no asafoetida, onion or garlic. Traditionally it's cooked in ghee; use ghee instead of oil if you aren't keeping it vegan. Chef's tip: soak the sago in just enough water to cover by the height of the pearls themselves, no more; too much water is the reason khichdi turns into one sticky lump.
