I am sure every one loves yummy lipsmacking Aloo chaat . Though they basically originated from the streets of Delhi its now famous across India . Aloo chaat recipe is basically very simple and making at home is damn easy but the end result is absolutely mouthwatering … perfect for anyone who loves spicy , chatpata food. Kids would relish it like anything . The best part is .. if we have mint chatney and dates chutney ready .. making this aloo chat hardly takes any time .Agree it’s high in calories .. but when something as tempting as Aloo chaat is in front of us .. forget the weighing scale and enjoyy .. and later pull your socks and run an extra mile .. hehe !!!
I love spices and enjoy trying out new spices and blends . I like to experiment them on different dishes to see how they work…and actually sometimes it helps in giving a nice interesting twist to our regular recipes . Recently i came across one such interesting Sea Salt blend collection at Sprig . The banner ” Sea salt collections from Pacific ocean ” and those cute attractive glass jars filled with 4 different flavored salt is sure enough to grab anyone’s attention . Celery Sea Salt, Chipotle Smoked Sea Salt, Sichuan Pepper & Sea Salt and Rosemary and Lavender infused Sea Salt are the four variants.
Lets see today how i incorporated Celery Sea Salt in our favorite Aloo Chaat . Celery Sea salt is a classic blend of robust celery with pristine sea salt from the Pacific Ocean. One can add it to any salads , sandwiches ,popcorns ,stir frys , juices, chaats, sandwiches, fried snacks, egg etc .A pinch of Celery Sea salt from Sprig added an extra zing to this Aloo Chaat . To spicen up and flavor up more .. i added Sprig smoked paprika powder …. Do give a try and enjoy …
