Crispy potatoes, cool yoghurt, lively chutneys and a final sprinkle of Chaat Masala make this aloo chaat wonderfully difficult to stop eating. Every mouthful is crunchy, creamy, sweet, sour and gently hot—the very reason chaat is such joyful food.

Serve it as a generous sharing plate and assemble it immediately before eating so the potatoes keep their crisp edges.
