Aloo Tikki aur chole

This is a tasty filling dish which consists of many individual components. Almost everything can be prepared in advance and it needs to be assembled just before serving.
The individual elements for a single portion are:

Aloo tikki - 4 pieces
Chole - 2 or 3 ladles
Pomegranate - 2 tbsp
Sweet chutney - 2 tbsp
Green Chutney - 1 tbsp
Ground nut - 1 tbsp
Onion - 2 tbsp or less
Sev - 2 tbsp

The above mentioned quantities are according to my taste. Adjust the sweet and green chutney to suit your requirements.
