- Make half inch cuts on all four sides of the bread. Brush bread slices with oil on both sides.
- Arrange the bread slices into the muffin molds like a cup. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (400°f) for 15 minutes in the middle rack or till the bread is crisp.
- Unmold the bread baskets and allow them to cool at room temperature. Set aside.
Make Aloo Chaat Stuffing:
- Combine boiled peas, potato, onion, salt, spices, and pomegranate in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Make it spicier using green chili if you prefer.
Assemble Bread Basket Chaat:
- Fill each bread basket with a tablespoon of aloo chaat stuffing. Top the aloo chaat with a tablespoon of curd, one teaspoon each of sweet and mint chutney. Sprinkle sev and fresh coriander.
