Step 1
Place potatoes in a bowl. Trim the edges of bread slices and cut them into cubes and put them in a bowl. Add a little water and let them soak for half a minute. Squeeze out the water and mix them with potatoes.

Step 4
Dust a karanji mould with cornstarch. Take a portion of the potato mixture, press it on both sides of the mould and make a small depression in the centre. Place some of the nuts mixture in the centre, close the mould and seal the edges of the karanji.
Step 5
Remove the karanji from the mould, place in the pan and cook, turning sides, till it is evenly golden on both sides. Drain on an absorbent paper. Similarly make more karanjis.

Sprinkle chaat masala on the karanjis while still hot. Arrange them on a serving plate and serve hot with tamarind chutney.
