Easy Aloo Chaat / Spicy Potato Chaat
In monsoon we crave for more fried foods and urge to eat some tangy chatpata food always. But I believe homemade ones are the best. So I try to make them at home. This aloo chaat is one of such recipe that is quick and equally tangy spicy and delectable.
Read my similar street food of Aloo Tikki Chaat or Ragda Patties.
This is easier and lighter version of the tikki chaat. Aloo chaat is very easy and takes hardly 8 – 10 minutes to assemble if you have all chutney ready.
In fact you can prepare the chutney or sauces well in advance and refrigerate them for a week or more.
Basically we need two chutney for any chaat recipes. i.e.
- Green Chutney
- Tamarind Chutney
I’m using boiled potatoes for my chaat which takes lesser time to fry than raw ones. But if you don’t have boiled potatoes, you can straight shallow fry the potato cubes covering with a lid on low flame. In this chaat I have taken boiled white peas also which is used to make ragda chaat. But if you want to make only aloo chat You can skip this.
I have used green coriander and mint chutney, sweet tamarind chutney, beaten curd in this Aloo Chaat. Add red chilli powder and green chillies as per your taste.
How to make spicy aloo chaat?
