CHAAT MASALA



Chaat Masala image

I know this looks like a very long list of ingredients, but that's because most of them are optional, and you can play around to find your own favourite combination! The amounts are pretty flexible too. For this to be a truly authentic Chaat masala, you really do need to include the amchoor, asafoetida & black salt, which add a whole different dimension to the mixture. However, they can be an aquired taste (in particular the asafoetida), so use them more sparingly if you're not sure! You can get away without adding the asafoetida, but the amchoor is essential to the whole flavour; and although you can substitute ordinary salt, it isn't quite the same as black salt (which, incidentaly, is pink!). You can find all the ingredients in any indian grocers, and these days probably even some large supermarkets. This goes well with loads of things, there are several recipes on this site which use it, it adds a bit of interest to cooked veg etc, and you can even sprinkle it over fruit!

ALOO CHANNA CHAAT (TANGY POTATO CHICKPEA SNACK)



Aloo Channa Chaat (Tangy Potato Chickpea Snack) image

This is a delightfully sweet and tangy snack or side dish made with chickpeas and potatoes. Tamarind paste is readily available in Indian grocery stores. Update based on a review - Shallots can be substituted with mild onions and is meant to be raw. This imparts a special crunchy flavor that is excellent in all Indian chaat and some Indian salads. Also remember that tamarind is a distinctive taste and if you're new to it, start with less and go by taste. Experiment and enjoy!

CHAAT MASALA



Chaat Masala image

Asafoetida, mango powder and black salt distinguish the chaat masala from other masalas, giving the blend a sourness that makes it a welcome accompaniment to fresh fruit and other snacks. "Chaat" refers to various snacks and to the North Indian cafes that serve them. Fresh fruit often is sprinkled with lime juice and chaat masala. Black salt (which is actually a reddish gray), available at Indian food stores, has a distinctive flavor that's quite different from sea salt or table salt. The garam masala is the wild card in this recipe; either one of the Tamil Nadu Curry Powder or Punjabi-Style Garam Masala may be used.

PAPDI CHAAT



Papdi Chaat image

Chaat is a broad term for savory vegetarian snacks. This version is from Nidhi Jalan, founder of Brooklyn-based Masala Mama -- maker of artisan Indian simmer sauces (we love the Coconut Curry). Nidhi has wonderful childhood memories of eating chaat on-the-spot from street vendors in Kolkata. She likens this personal favorite to nachos and almost prefers tortilla chips over the traditional papdi (small flour-based wafers). It's a flavor explosion of tangy, sweet, salty and spicy.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 medium-boiled potatoes, skins removed, chopped
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • For the Green Chutney: Combine the sugar, cumin, chilies, cilantro, ginger, mint, lime juice, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside. Makes: 1/3 cup. (See Cook's Note.)
  • For the yogurt sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, cumin, 1 tablespoon water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.

Drizzle on the yogurt sauce. Drizzle on the tamarind-date chutney. Add dollops of the green chutney. Sprinkle with the chaat masala and cilantro leaves, if using. Evenly and beautifully sprinkle with the sev. Serve right away.

CHAAT - DAHI BATATA PURI



Chaat - Dahi Batata Puri image

Chaat is a broad term that encompasses many different dishes. This recipe is made of yogurt and potatoes and other chaat sauces. You may need to make a trip to an Indian grocery store to stock up on spherical 'puris' (also called as pani-puri puris), 'sev', green chutney, and a sweet and sour chutney. I have tried here to give as many substitutions as possible, if you are unable to go to an Indian grocery store. However, you will definitely lose the authentic taste if you make substitutions. If you can find them, use black salt in place of the rock salt, spherical puris in place of the wheat crackers, and plain sev in place of the crushed potato chips.

Provided by Rani

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Beans and Peas

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup garbanzo beans
2 cups plain yogurt
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground coriander seed
¼ teaspoon rock salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
1 large potato - peeled, boiled and mashed
32 thin wheat crackers
¼ cup green chutney
¼ cup sweet and sour chutney
½ cup red onion, minced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
½ cup crushed potato chips

Steps:

  • Boil the garbanzo beans in water for about 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork; drain well.
  • Beat the yogurt together with the following: fresh grated ginger, chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, rock salt or black salt, black pepper and salt.
  • Season the mashed potato with salt.
  • Break each puri gently with a fork to create a tiny opening on the top. Arrange the puris in 4 plates, 8 in each plate. Or, if using wheat crackers arrange them on a platter or plates. Place the potatoes on top of each cracker. Place about 1 tablespoon of potato in each puri or on each cracker. Place a few garbanzo beans on top of the potato. Spoon the spiced yogurt on top. Spoon green chutney and sweet and sour chutney on top of it. Garnish with the chopped onion, cilantro, and sev on top. Serving tip: I like to set up a number of small bowls with each of the above condiments, so that each person can add whatever they want to, according to their taste and preferences.

CHAAT PARTY



Chaat Party image

The beauty of chaat - a category of tangy, sweet, fiery and crunchy Indian snacks - is that it's built for customization. The only common denominator is that alchemy of flavor sensations, often driven by a combination of sweet-and-sour tamarind chutney, a bright herb chutney (like this cilantro-mint chutney or this green chile chutney) and cooling raita. Otherwise, base ingredients and toppings (and even those chutneys!) can all be interchanged. This spirit is the driving force behind Maneet Chauhan's chaat party, from her cookbook, "Chaat" (Clarkson Potter, 2020), a choose-your-own-adventure spread that allows eaters to build a chaat suited to their tastes: More crunch! Less spicy! More sweet! More herbs! It's entirely up to you. This is a great way to entertain, and also a quick, no-cook dinner. Use this list as a starting point for ingredients, but feel free to get creative. If you are able to get banana leaves, spread them out over the table before arranging everything else on top for a bright pop of color. -Priya Krishna

  • Peel and quarter the potatoes and place in a pot of water. Bring to boil and cook until they are firm but cooked through, being careful not to let them get mushy.
  • Soak tamarind pulp in 1/4 cup water until soft, then rub pulp with fingers until it is dissolved in the water. Strain and pour the runny part into the chickpeas, discarding any seeds or lumpy parts that are left in the strainer.
  • Place potatoes, tomatoes and onion in the bowl with the chickpeas. If using the cucumber, chiles or spring onion, add them as well. Finally, add the chaat masala, mix well, and serve.
  • NOTE: If you are using dried chickpeas which have been soaked and softened, add approximately 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. The canned chickpeas already have some salt in them.

In "Vegan Indian Cooking" by Anupy Singla, she suggests "try this on raw veggies, sprinkled over boiled potatoes or stir a pinch into your plain soy yogurt."

CHAAT

There are several recipes for this on this site, but none quite like this! I have a recipe posted for the puris if you don't want to search the stores, or, use crackers! Recipe #483169

Provided by pammyowl

Categories     Beans

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup garbanzo beans
2 cups plain yogurt
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
1/4 teaspoon rock salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
salt
1 large potato, peeled, boiled and mashed
32 thin wheat crackers
1/4 cup green chutney
1/4 cup sweet and sour chutney
1/2 cup red onion, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup crushed potato chips

Steps:

  • Boil the garbanzo beans for 30 minutes or until fork tender, drain.
  • Beat the yogurt together with the following: fresh grated ginger, chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, rock salt or black salt, black pepper and salt.
  • Season the mashed potato with salt.
  • Break each puri gently with a fork to create a tiny opening on the top. Arrange the puris in 4 plates, 8 in each plate. Or, if using wheat crackers arrange them on a platter or plates.
  • Place the potatoes on top of each cracker. Place about 1 tablespoon of potato in each puri or on each cracker.
  • Place a few garbanzo beans on top of the potato.
  • Spoon the spiced yogurt on top.
  • Spoon green chutney and sweet and sour chutney on top of it.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your chaat. Use fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make chaat, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You might be surprised at what you come up with!
  • Use a variety of textures: Chaat is all about the combination of different textures. Be sure to include a mix of crunchy, soft, and chewy ingredients in your dish.
  • Balance the flavors: Chaat should be a balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavors. If one flavor is too overpowering, it will ruin the dish.
  • Serve chaat immediately: Chaat is best enjoyed fresh. If you make it ahead of time, the flavors will start to meld together and it won't be as good.

Conclusion:

Chaat is a delicious and versatile street food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and fruits, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. If you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, be sure to give chaat a try. You won't be disappointed!
