HOW TO MAKE CHUTNEY FOR CHAAT

chaat chutneys

I am a big fan of chaat items. I can live with it. Recently I tried dahi vada( will post next). I made these chaat chutneys & the urad dal batter in large quantities, refrigerated it and prepared it for my daughter as evening snack for 3-4 days. She loved it a lot.

Making varieties of chaat is very easy If we have these chutneys, oma podi & onions at home , we can make chaat recipes instantly. I used to make a single sweet n sour chutney for chaat which u can find here. But after going through some books and websites, I found there are different varieties of chutneys. So this time i tried all these chutneys.

I made them thick & I diluted it while use. I quickly browsed some recipes and I finally settled down with recipes of Few minute wonders. I made some slight changes in the ingredients and the procedure for my comfort. Do try these chutneys, u’ll love it..
