‘Chaat’ or ‘Chat’ is a savoury roadside snack served widely across India and the Indian sub continent. The original chaat is a mixture of dahi wada and aloo tikki with sweet yoghurt and a blend of Indian chutneys. The dish is garnished with sev, fresh coriander, onions and hot spices. The other popular variants include bhel, pani puri, samosa and tokri chaat. I love Indian street food and so I keep preparing it at home from time to time to savour the authentic Indian dishes. This mouth watering recipe of mine is surely going to tempt you to try it out! Do try out my yet another yummy street food recipe of veg momos.
