Cooking Tips

• Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated potatoes to ensure crispiness.
• You can customize the filling by adding ingredients like pomegranate seeds, boiled potatoes, or sprouts.
• Serve the chaat immediately after assembling to maintain the crispiness of the potato basket.

Storage and Serving

• Lachha Tokri Chaat is best served immediately after preparation.
• It is not recommended to store it for later consumption as the potato basket will lose its crispiness.
• Serve the chaat as a snack or appetizer at parties or enjoy it as a street food-style treat.
