This post is purely for chaat lovers, and I am first on that list. Every weekend we treat ourselves with the street chaats which are hard to resist. There are so many different kind of chaats and the main ingredients without which your chaat will be incomplete is the green chutney and sweet chutney. Once you prepare these chutneys you can treat your family at home with bhelpuri/ panipuri/ samosa /sandwich/ burger…list goes on. I will be sharing my chaat recipes in future, so keep your chutneys ready 🙂
