STEP BY STEP
Suhal Ki Chaat is quite similar to papdi chaat, except the paapdi is replaced with crispy suhal. The crispy deep-fried suhal is topped with boiled white peas, chopped onions and tomatoes, yogurt, sev, tomato chutney and chilli flakes.
The crunchiness of suhal, the tangy and sweet tastes of yogurt and tomato chutney impart an amazing scrumptiousness to this dish.
Your trip to Varanasi is incomplete without the Suhal Ki Chaat.
