So many childhood memories with this street food.

How many of you had bunked a lecture for this tangy chatpata chaat?

I don’t know if anybody has ever. But I have bunked many classes in my college days for this ragda/ chaat. I have always seen the chat stall crowded with students. You go at any point of time you will not find any chat stall empty. Especially if they are placed near school and colleges.

Normally these tikkis or patties are made from potatoes. They are deep-fried and that to double-fried many times. But here in this recipe, I have shallow fried the potato patties or the tikkis. And I have used only 1 tsp oil for the whole process. Isn’t it healthy than the fried original street food of tikki chaat? The dish is known as chaat because of its tangy taste i.e. “chatpata”. This recipe is a blend of sweetness, spicy, sour taste

Basic Ingredients to Make Aloo Tikki Chaat

Potatoes: This is the base ingredient along with peas as we are going to make the patty of them. Just boil the potatoes, cool them and mash to shape. Add some starch and spices after mashing the potatoes. Add corn starch or rice flour to make them little crusty on the surface. But since we are only shallow frying it, you can skip the flour part also. Just grease your palms and shape the potato dough.

White Peas: This will add additional flavor and texture to the chat. Boil and then saute with spices to bring out the flavor of the peas.

Onion, tomato, chilli, coriander: Finely chop them and add for an extra dose of flavour to the chat.

Sauces/ Chutney: Sweet tamarind sauce and green coriander and mint sauce are essential. these make the chat delicious and tangy. Add other dry spices like roasted cumin powder, chat masala, red chilli powder.

When you add all of them it’s going to be a tasty tangy spicy dish that is irresistible.
