作法
- 煮鷹嘴豆：泡好的鷹嘴豆瀝乾，與 1 公升水、1 小匙鹽煮 60 分鐘至軟，瀝乾。
- 羅望子醬與溫水拌勻。加入喀什米爾紅椒粉、烘香孜然粉、印度黑鹽、鹽與糖。醬汁應酸鹹辣分明。
- 大碗中放入煮好的鷹嘴豆、馬鈴薯丁、洋蔥末、綠辣椒與薑末。
- 倒入羅望子醬，用手或湯匙徹底拌勻——應油亮均勻附著。加入檸檬汁再拌一次。
- 分裝小碗，每碗鋪上對切的水煮蛋與壓碎的 fuchka 脆殼。
- 撒上香菜。室溫食用；chotpoti 要當小時內吃掉，脆殼與軟豆的對比就是它的結構。達卡街頭攤販會用玻璃側邊推車盛裝，最受歡迎的時段是下午茶。

文化背景
Chotpoti 是孟加拉最普及的街頭小吃——達卡每個社區都有 chotpoti 攤車，下午四點開到傍晚。學校、大學門口、公園與公車站也賣。鷹嘴豆扎實，搭配酸辛羅望子醬與雞蛋，是介於正餐與點心之間。每位達卡攤販都有自己偏愛的羅望子、辣椒與芥末比例；行家分得出舊達卡、新市場、Mohammadpur 的 chotpoti 風格差異。鋪面的壓碎 fuchka 脆殼是口感招牌。
