In Indian context "Chaat" is what comes to mind as one thinks about Street Food. You won't be disappointed any time you have chaat at a road-side stall. After pani-puri, I always love to pamper my taste buds with a plate of hot Pakodi chaat. In each bite you can get a combination of flavours to tickle your taste bud. Sweet, spicy, savoury at the same time. And the best thing is that you can always adjust the level of each flavour according to your taste.

Serve the Pakodi Chaat on its own with a hot cup of Masala Chai for a evening snack or serve along with Homemade Canape Papdi Chaat and Moong Sprouts Usal for your next chaat party.
