Aloo Chaat
Veg
Vegan
Crispy potato chaat — boiled potatoes cubed and pan-fried or deep-fried until golden and crunchy on all sides, tossed in chaat masala, amchur, red chilli powder, and roasted cumin, then drizzled with imli chutney and hari chutney. The contrast between the crunchy exterior of the potato and the bright, tangy, spiced chutneys is the essence of Delhi chaat. Eaten as a snack at street stalls and dhabas.
