Aloo Chat
Aloo chaat is a popular Indian street food primarily made from crispy fried potato cubes flavored with ground spices and sweet-and-sour date and tamarind sauce, and finished with coriander leaves and crunchy pomegranate seeds. This is a dish that’s best served freshly cooked. If you want to get ahead, you can boil and chill the potatoes, prepare the onion and spice mix and make the date and tamarind sauce and coriander relish in advance. Then, all you have to do is cook the potatoes at the last minute. You can also fry the potatoes in advance if needed and reheat them in the oven before combining with all the other ingredients, but you’ll get the best results by frying them on the day you plan to serve them.
