Street Style Aloo Chana Chaat Chickpea Potato Salad Recipe

Nothing can beat Indian street food. Unique flavors, varieties and its affordable. You get it at a price that you wont believe 🙂 Chaat or street food is probably the only thing that I miss the most when I am in USA. So I end up preparing simple chaats at home every now and then.

Traditionally Aloo Chole Chaat is prepared using boiled chickpeas and potatoes. You can use canned chickpeas too. I just love the crispy and crunchy potatoes and thus I have fried them in the recipe. If you like to prepare a healthy version feel free to replace fried potatoes with boiled potatoes.

Tamarind chutney or sauce gives that sweetness and tanginess to the dish. If you find it difficult to find tamarind feel free to use any sweet and tangy dressing of your choice.

Chaat recipes are very flexible. This is just a reference and prepared as per my family’s taste. You can vary all the ingredient amounts as per your liking.
