Indian chaat

Something to talk about.

Yes, you read that correctly: it is 'chaat', not 'chat'. But if you prepare one of these Indian delicacies the right way, your guests will definitely have something worth talking about.

This tasty treat is a favorite of everyone, as evidenced by the many street stands and even entire restaurants which specialize in this delicious snack.
