I love chaat, and I like trying new types of chaat all the time. Today I’m sharing with you, one of my favorites: Aloo Chaat. This is a delicious, tangy spicy chaat that’s full of flavours and texture. I think that’s the best part about chaat, the different textures in each bite.
So What is Aloo Chaat?
Aloo Chaat is a popular street food snack, that’s made with boiled (and then fried) potatoes. It’s cooked with a handful of tangy spices and delicious green chutney. And then it’s topped with all sorts of deliciousness such as pomegranate, chopped coriander, sev and even more green chutney!
How Do You Make Aloo Chaat?
- Start by boiling the cubed potatoes first. Do not cook the potatoes completely, they should be al dente since we’re going to be frying them in a bit of oil too. We don’t want the potatoes to become mushy.
- Once the potatoes have been boiled, let them cool down a bit. Then fry them in oil, add the spices and green chutney and your simple aloo chaat recipe is ready in a jiffy. Now top it with all kinds of deliciousness, I think my favourite topping is the pomegranate. Love that juicy burst of flavour!
How Do You Make this Aloo Chaat Healthy?
- Traditionally, the potatoes in Aloo Chaat are deep fried. But I fry them in just a bit of oil in this recipe, so this recipe is fairly healthy.
- However, you can reduce the oil even more to make a healthy aloo chaat. Just be sure to use a non stick frying pan!
