WHAT IS ALOO CHAAT?
Quick 15-Minute Homemade Aloo Chaat is a popular Pakistani/Indian appetizer. It features fried potatoes topped with Green chutney, Khaati Meethi Chutney, and a blend of tangy seasonings and spices. This chaat is mildly spiced yet tangy and bursting with flavor. Originally from India, Aloo Chaat has become widely enjoyed across Pakistan, especially in Karachi.
This Aloo Chaat is a unique recipe. Unlike many other Pakistani/Indian chaats, such as No-Cook Chana Chaat with yogurt or Dahi Puri Chaat, it doesn’t include papdi. This is NOT a gluten-free recipe because of thee Khaati Meethi Chutney has the ingredient of all purpose flour in it.
