Рецепт Channa Chaat
As mentioned in my earlier post, street food is iconic to Indian cuisine. Earlier these were served only in the road side stall and food carts but now it has found its place in even urban and upscale restaurant. Those that were served in bamboo plates and fold newspapers are now being presented and created beautifully in small plates. Such is it is importance amongst us.
It is widely known that "Chaats" are not for health conscious and dieting people. They are mostly made of fried snacks. But this recipe is an easy and a non greasy one. You can whip this up in a jiffy and this can be served even as a salad or a meal in itself completely.
