A delicious platter of Indian flavored crispy potatoes to be dipped in your favorite sauces.
By Anamika Sharma
Delhi is famous for all kinds of food, specially chaat, papdi, tikki and gol gappas. Among this list is one of my favorite dish -Delhi Aloo Chaat, during navaratri aloo chaat and fruit chaat are both in high demand at my place. I miss Delhi Chaat very much here, which I use to eat quite often in A Block Connaught Place my favorite among all aloo chaat’s I have tried, there are times when you really crave for the food you love and have grown up eating. I love having chaat and Delhi is the place for it. 
I tried making my aloo chaat similar to the chaat I use to have in Delhi but the only difference is that this time I baked the aloo (potatoes) instead of deep-frying them.
What I got was crisp aloo’s straight from the oven, they looked yum, and I will say for this dish – Easy, Simple and with less ingredients you will be able to satisfy your stomach – chatpati aloo chaat.
I added tamarind chutney and mint chutney without onions,(if you are not fasting then you can add this coriander mint chutney) to my baked potatoes, sprinkled some chaat masala and lemon juice and I got a platter full of crispy potatoes dipped in tangy sauces – mouth-watering isn’t it?
So here I am sharing with you all an all time easy and simple recipe of Delhi Aloo Chaat.
