Street foods are the heart of Indian cuisine. Every city in our country has some special locations where people gather to relish some mouth-watering delights. As compared to restaurants, street foods are cheaper and also taste delicious. Nowadays, a lot of street vendors are going viral due to the unique dishes they are creating. Recently, a vendor from Chandni Chowk, Delhi, has gained huge popularity on the internet for his 7 matke wali chaat. Here is the video. Take a look:
Chaat is one of the most loved street foods and is immensely popular all over the country. Made with boiled potatoes, grains, crispy papdi, yoghurt, flavourful chutneys, and loads of aromatic spices, this street delight has numerous varieties. Some popular ones are papdi chaat, aloo chaat, chana chaat, samosa chaat, and so on. In the video, the vendor is preparing his special recipe with the ingredients kept in the seven earthen pots, after which the dish is named.
He starts by dipping some crispy papdi in curd and tangy chutney, followed by a handful of crispy taro pieces and boiled potatoes. Then he adds some boiled chickpeas and potatoes, salt, masala mix, and yellow chilli powder. He also layers the chaat with a spoonful of curd and sweet chutney. For enhancing the flavour of the chaat, he is using ginger-chilli paste and a spoonful of coriander-mint chutney.
The chaat costs Rs. 70, and with its popularity, we can guess that it tastes delicious. He also sells kanji vada along with his special chaat. The video has been shared by many famous food vloggers and has gotten more than 150k likes. People are loving his recipe and are excited to try it. His stall is near Shree Pipleshwar Mahadev Mandir in Chandni Chowk, Delhi. If you happen to be in Delhi right now, visit Chandni Chowk, give this chaat a try, and tell us how it was.
