Dahi Puri/Dahi Poori Chaat
I live for chaat food really I am not kidding. People can make me instantly happy with these chat food. I love going to "Gangotri" (Chaat shop)in Chennai almost every weekends (Sometimes even daily...heheh)First thing I thought I would miss after coming to USA was chaat food, I wasn't worried about anything else but I remember asking my husband if there is enough chaat food shops in New Jersey and he used to laugh saying there's lots of shop and I was really happy for yrs until I landed in New York. There is no chaat shops here boooooooooo so now I have started to make them on my own. Hmm ....well that's my sad story anyway now lets go back to making the recipe....
