Iam back with yet another snack ,a chaat to be precise with a lots of yogurt.A rich,creamy and cooling snack which can be a meal in itself.With tingling sauces and the fresh coriander leaves as garnish,this one is hard to resist.I used to have it at a small outlet in Karol Bagh,New Delhi where I grew up.It used to be so soft,without having to push it to your mouth.Iam always on the lookout of something new and tasty.This one chaat witll please people of all ages.This is a north indian cousin of thayir vadai but with different seasonings and to please your kids.Specially during summer time,this is a real treat as you can make it in advance and keep it in fridge and serve chilled.Chaat varieties are loved by all,so for this summer don’t waste an oppurtunity to try this.
