Chaat comes from the Hindi word meaning "to lick", and that says it all. Chaat is a family of Indian street snacks built from crunchy bases such as puris, papdis, samosas or fries, then topped with potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt, tamarind chutney, green chutney, spices and crunchy sev. Every bite mixes sweet, sour, spicy, salty and creamy flavors with crisp and soft textures.

Chaat is light, quick and made for sharing. Order a few plates for a game night, a birthday, a festival like Diwali or Holi, or just an evening snack with friends. Pair it with a Masala Tea or Mango Lassi, add samosas or vada and pakoda, and you have a full Indian snack table.
