Chaat

Originating in the north of India, chaat is an Indian street-food snack. The word “chaat” means “to lick” – and chaat is finger-licking delicious.

There are many types of chaat, but all have a starch base (like a samosa or puffed rice), vegetables and chutney.

One of the most popular is papri chaat.

It’s made with a samosa-style crust, boiled potatoes and chickpeas, topped with tamarind chutney and crunchy bits of deep-fried noodles.
