Burger Bun Chaat Recipe

Chaat is a very popular Indian street-food. This flavourful blend of everything sweet and spicy is as sensational as a dish can get. I decided to give the normal chaat recipe a different interpretation, by using this chaat as filling between two buns, thus making it resemble a burger.

In this recipe, the masala is the star of the dish. Care should be taken to add correct proportions of various spices to obtain a tasty masala. Cumin (jeera) seeds and coriander (dhaniya) seeds provide a fresh burst of flavours, while black salt (kala namak) functions as a condiment. Mashed potatoes (aaloo) is added to the roasted spice mixture and cooked for a while. It is topped with tangy and sweet tamarind (imli) chutney. After this, the burger buns are taken and halved, followed by grilling on a pan using some butter. The potato masala mixture is stuffed between two buns, and topped with garnish, which includes chopped onion (pyaaz) and coriander. Sev and peanuts (mungfali) provide a crunchy element, and pomegranate (anar ke daane) gives a nice fruity punch. Green chutney and Imli chutney enhance the palate of the dish, by contributing contrasting flavours. This is topped with the remaining spice mixture, which is sprinkled on top and subsequently covered with the other bun. This burger with a desi twist will make you an offer that you wouldn’t be able to refuse.
