Chaat is a popular street food in India. From north to south, tangy and spicy recipes cater to diverse palates. Foodies often savour these in the evening to satisfy their cravings and hunger pangs. You must relish these over this weekend.
There is no specific day when you should be gulping gol gappas. The round puri stuffed with tangy and spicy water and potatoes is every gastronome’s weakness.
Large chunks of potatoes shallow-fried until crispy and served with green chutney on top is an ultimate snack that will make your lips smack.
If you live in Varanasi, nothing comes close to tamatar chaat. It is sour and sweet, and leaves taste buds tantalised.
Potatoes are the star ingredient of this recipe. Aloo tikki is served with matar, chutney, curd, and spices as garnish.
Papdi chaat is another of North India’s favourite street food. The crunch from papdi, sourness from tamarind chutney, and fiery notes from green chutney make foodies drool.
Replace papdi with crunchy and deep-fried spinach leaves, you get palak patta chaat. If you live in Delhi, try it in Greater Kailash.
Pazham pori to dal vadas, pakoras when served with chutney make for the ultimate companion with adrak chai or hot coffee.
