Aloo chaat Punjabi style is a yummy chaat recipe in which pan roasted potatoes are dusted with chilli powder, chaat masala, cumin powder and topped with onions, marinated ginger strips, sev, pomegranate seeds and tamarind chutney. This recipe is also called as Delhi aloo chaat.
Normally in the recipe of aloo chaat Punjabi style, potatoes are deep fried first and mixed with onions, sev and chutney. But I have pan roasted the potatoes to cut down the calories and it is still so lip smacking. Pomegranate seeds not only add the splash of red color, but it also provides a crunchy texture and sweet-sour taste, plus it makes this chaat a little on a nutritious side.
Chaat is very versatile like a pizza, in which you can choose your own toppings. You can add your own spin by adding different veggies, fruits and chutneys.
