Chaat is a savory snack, typically served at road-side tracks from stalls in India. Basically the chaat variants are all based on fried dough, with various other ingredients. The original chaat is a mixture of potato pieces, crisp fried bread / dahi vada / dahi bhalla, gram or chickpeas, tangy-salty spices, with some Indian chutney, fresh coriander leaves and finally yogurt for garnish. But nowadays, there are a huge variety of chaats available in market which include golgappa chaat, bhel puri, dahi puri, sprouted moong chaat, panipuri, dahi vada, papri chaat etc.
Today I have come up with a recipe, tomato chaat or tomato canape where the tomatoes are used as a base.
Well, tomatoes are loaded with many health benefits. Tomatoes are a treasure when it comes to their antioxidant benefits due to the high concentration of lycopene. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment which is related to red tomatoes.
