CHAT (Pani puri)(Dahi batata sev puri)

March 18, 2007 · 9 Comments

Chat is liked by many. But I know ladies who do not like chat!!!! It really surprised me. There are some who do not like chocolates, even mangoes !!!Oh I am going out of topic :)

I love to eat chat,and if I get a weekly dose of chat I am the happiest person . But generally that does not happen and I have to console myself by dreaming of it :(

So I thought of giving a post on it so that I get to eat it too :)

The place where I am staying , people here throng chat walas stalls. But I wonder how many of them make Golgappas (panipuri) at home, because we don’t get packets of puris in shops.The packets we get are branded ones. The best quality comes for Rs 75/ 30 puris. Imagine spending so much . So I resort to making them at home.If I buy loose it is Rs 2/ per puri!!!!!

So the recipe for Puri is here Recipe for Red chutney is here

Recipe for Green chutney is here/ Recipe for Sweet chutney is here / Recipe for Pani is here.

Assemble-Put the chana , potatoes, boondi in the puffed puri .Add spices on it . Put green and sweet chutney on it. Sprinkle spices again on top and coriander leaves.

I know , I know every one knows how to make chat, but the reason behind posting this recipe was that,I was dreaming of chat for quite some time and wanted to eat it !!!!!!!!! :)))))))

It was soo ..oooo tasty :) Is your mouth watering? :)

Those puris which did not puff up make -

Sev puri-Just put few potato cubes and onion finely cut on flat puri. Sprinkle masalas, add green /sweet/ and red chutney. Sprinkle sev, and coriander leaves.

    hey archana, as you know by now, i do love chaat! out here we get a pack of puris for @ $2.99, but i guess it’s worth all the trouble one has to go thru to make it, i mean i know for sure that i don’t hv the stamina to make all those small puris haha!
    enjoy!!

    Actually I compare prices by Indian standards and I feel this place is too costly :)
    Infact even I feel that making puri is lot of hassle :)

    this is our favourate chaat too,i always keep stock because you never know when you will crave, i buy ready made green chutney and for sweet chutney i keep maggi’s tamrina sauce thats all.

    If I buy and keep that packet, it will finish on the same day, I will not wait for cravings haa haa:)))))) Such is my craziness for chaat Vanita :) By the way I will also buy that tamarina Sauce , good idea.

    It is so true…i dont know how people can avoid eating those [especially the spicy one which u get in mumbai:))]…They are missing the best thing in life i guess…Thanx for sharing the art of puri making!!!

    Even I feel the same that they are missing out on best thing in life, and probably they are thinking same about us. The recipe for pani is same like they give in Mumbai :)

    -Sushma

    Hi Sushma ,
    Bengali Sweets in South Ex Part 1? His Tikkis are not up the standard now as they used to be 8-10 yrs back .
    Even I looo…ve chat . My many many thanks who invented or thought of these dishes :)

    Putting up the post was a ‘bahana’ to eat it :)

    Wow, mmmmm mouthwatering….I thought chaats are the best food for dieters as its mostly boiled stuff with lots of masalas :-)

    And thanks for your tip for posting photos on my blog Archana. I just noticed it too that yours and mine are exactly the same ! I was trying to choose a template and colour closest to my old blog :-)

    I followed your tip, but my photos are too big even for the screen. I directly upload them from my camera into a folder on my computer and use them for my blog. I tried to crop the pic I posted on my recent post but that didnt help as the outer boundary still took a lot of space. Do you know how to get rid of that boundary ? thanks in advance :-)

    Thanks Abha,
    Chaats are healthy as long as they eaten the healthy way,. But the puris papdi , and tikki are the culprits :))))
    I never had any problem with the photos probably they were small .Did you try that ‘Edit’ written there next to the browse.
    If I come to know I will surely tell you :)
