boondi chaat – marudhuskitchen

Are you planning to serve appetizers why not serve chaats?Sure will be a promising starter kindling the real appetite in you with bursting flavors.Craziness for chaats among people have proved quiet evident as most of our weddings functions nowadays have special chaat corners,the main crowd-puller of the whole food varieties that are put on show.The boondi chaat should be served immediately otherwise it will loose all its texture and crunchiness!so must be mixed quickly,served quickly.The main crunchiness are from boondi and peanuts,a pleasant burst of flavors and textures are from onion,tomatoes,cucumber and the true spiciness are from tamarind chutney and chat masala(slightly from green chillies).

when adding lemon juice add it according to your taste depending upon how tangy you would like it to be.Even can add thinly sliced raw mangoes for tanginess instead of lemon juice.Tamarind chutney are available at all grocery store outlets ,I have made my own chutney  and adding home-made chutney(preparations) are always  best.
