This fingerlicking, flavorsome chaat recipe is from the streets of North India, specifically Delhi, known for its diverse street food culture and this recipe is one its most popular dishes as an evening snack or satisfying lunch. There are three main component to this recipe: the chickpea curry(Choley, <\/strong>ch-O-lay<\/em>, the O sounds like the alphabet O)<\/strong>, slightly different from the famous chana masala, second the potato patties(Aloo tikki)<\/strong>, the third is the popular green cilantro mint chutney and the optional crunchies and a small onion salad. Together it comes under the umbrella of street food called Chaat<\/strong> or snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also Meetha chutney <\/strong>a sweet-tart sauce made with dates and tamarind, however, it’s not featured here, date-tamarind chutney\/sauce is sweet-tart, and beautifully compliments the flavors in this recipe. I’ll blog the recipe later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once mashed, formed together they’re chilled for a few minutes to hold shape, then pan fried in a little oil to crisp on the outside and cook through on the inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
