Aloo Chaat – Sherzaad Style Filed under ( Chaats and Tangy food )

Sherzaad – the first restaurant I had been to in Saudi Arabia. The appetizer went with a Aloo chaat I had the same aloo chaat in my mind but when the first dollop was in my mouth I tasted the tangy cool chaat.
As I don’t eat chicken, fish and paneer is my last preference in starters so I chose this. I must say it was really yummmm. I hadn’t tasted this chaat before.
It happened last week to go again to the same restaurant again nd have the same aloo chaat. When I was having I just murmured Guru how about me trying this at home will it taste the same? And he replied ‘Y not but same taste donno’ Tak here I decided to prepare the same chaat and it had to taste the same. Last nyt I prepared this and Boy it tasted the same. Happy was my dearest hubby :D.
He he he next time I need not go to sherzaad to eat this aloo chaat.
