Chaat…irresistible mouthwatering street food famous all over India. There are variety of chaat recipes and I have shared some of the in my earlier blogs like Samosa chaat, papdi chaat basket, dahi poori papdi chaat and banana oats tikki chaat. Aloo tikki chaat is made from boiled potato flavored with spices and shallow fried on pan. You would need peas masala to prepare the chaat recipe.  The chaat is topped with onion, tomato, sweet yogurt, date-tamarind and coriander-mint chutney, crushed papdi and thin sev. Spicy, sour, sweet and tangy Aloo Tikki Chaat creates a deep craving for it as soon as you hear or smell the aroma somewhere.
