Aloo Chaat is a lip smacking dish made using deep fried crispy potatoes coated in flavorful spices, tangy spicy sauces and seasoned yogurt. Aloo Chaat is one of the famous street foods of India. Delhi's aloo chaat is very popular. Here, I have made a healthy version using just 2 tablespoon oil and have used baby potatoes to make this chaat. You can serve Aloo chaat as evening tea-time snack or as a party starter / appetizer. The recipe is Onion garlic free and easy to follow.
What is a Chaat?
A chaat is a tongue-tickling snack, and a popular Indian street food. Chaat originated in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, however, it gained popularity in the rest of the Indian Subcontinent. The word chaat means to lick in Hind language. So basically a chaat is a preparation which is finger-licking good. The delicious Dates and Tamarind Chutney and the Spicy green chutney along with some spice powders contribute to the spicy tangy and sweet flavors of a chaat. I usually keep these chutneys handy in my refrigerator. If you do no have them in stock, I would suggest you make them a day ahead before you intent to make the chat, to save time.
