Chaat and the Indian Palate

Chaat is welcome in any form at my place. I had a batch of cooked and frozen chickpeas, and when my elder girl asked me to make something chatpata (spicy) on a rather lazy Sunday afternoon, I suggested that I make this. She was more than eager to help me assemble the chaat.

Although slightly tedious, this is very similar to the Ragda patties or the Dry Tikki Chaat.  The base instead of dried peas gravy is similar to the Chole (chickpeas gravy) served with Puri or Bhature.  Topped with sev , chutneys and a dash of yoghurt, this makes for a lip smacking and colourful chaat for any party or get together.  If you are bored of the same base, why don’t you try this delish and nutritious Oats Moong Tikki as the base for this chole chaat.

Or if hosting a Holi / Diwali potluck, try this No-fry Dahi Bhalla / Dahi vada
