While going through my recipe index a few days back, I noticed that there were a very few chaat recipes in my blog. Shouldn't be unexpected though from a chaat lover like me as I eat them before it could get photographed. I have not posted many of these recipes earlier but you would definitely see most of them in my blog very soon.While I love all kind of chaat varieties, my all time favorite is Golgappa/Pani puri and Bangarpet Pani Puri.Apart from those pani puri varieties, I love masala puri, sev puri, papdi chat and dahi puri. Back home apart from my dad, we are all chaat lovers .While we eat chaats as a meal but my dad always prefers to eat it as a evening snack and so is the case with my husband now.Now I have successfully converted him so he can also have Golgappe and Bangarpet Pani puri as a meal.
Coming to today's chaat recipe,Dahi puri is one of the easiest chaat to prepare and would always turn out delicious.The balance of sweetened curds with the tangy and spicy chutneys in a crisp puri shell filled with sprouts and potatoes is definitely a winner on any palate.I am sure most of you would have tried this at least once,if you had not tried it I would suggest to give this lip smacking chaat recipe a try for sure.
