It would be stupid of me to ask an Indian or in that matter anybody with Indian roots, if they like chaats?. Thats because they LOVE them instead. Its one of the key players of Indian cuisine. More popular as street food, it drive us so crazy that we are ready to skip meals for it. Every chaat tastes heavenly and is unique in its own way. When I think of them, phrases like Bhaiya thoda teekha banayiye ( make it extra spicy, which would be a 20 on a rating of 10 in the USA), bhaiya ek meetha vala dijiye ( give me the one with sweet syrup), bhaiya kachori phod ke ( imposssible for me to describe :P), ek papdi dena bhaiya ( give me a crisp fried flat wafers) cross my mind. Eating it is literally like getting a palate spa done. No better way to rejoice your numb tongue.
Sev batata puri is a simple chaat with batata (potato) and sev (crunchy noodles made of chickpea flour) being the main filling. Puris can be made at home, but at the same time are easily available in grocery stores and are quite decently priced too. In this chaat the assembly of the ingredients requires an effort of just 10-15 minutes, but the result is much more rewarding. So why wait folks, invite some friends and enjoy this chat with some light hearted conversations.
