Chaats are a very popular street food in Pakistan and Northern India, prepared in countless different styles. They are a unique melange of favours, textures and colours: crunchy and tender, tangy and spicy, sweet and savoury, all at once. This particular combination features soft chickpeas, and crispy papri (fried wheat crackers), topped with diced fresh tomato & onion, sprinkled with a distinctive chaat masala seasoning and chutni (a tangy-sweet tamarind sauce).
