Aloo Chaat Recipe (Potato Chaat)

By

Indian street foods need no introduction and aloo chaat is one of the popular, super delicious and addictive snacks which is much loved by everyone. In India, the street vendors prepare aloo chaat in an iron griddle, in which diced potatoes are fried to perfection until crisp and golden brown while at home potatoes can be shallowly fried, baked or air-fried.

Aloo Chaat is a popular street food snack from North India and the easiest chaats to make. Potato cubes deep fried or shallow fried till crisp and golden brown and tossed with basic chaat chutneys that are tamarind chutney and green coriander chutney, onions, ginger, green chilies and flavored with spices and garnished with sev and chaat masala. I have also added fried peanuts for that extra crunch. This Aloo chaat is a super addictive and mouth-watering snack with a melange of sweet, sour, hot, and spicy tastes. Enjoy this tangy spicy aloo chaat recipe.
