The popular dishes famous on streets like pani puri, sev puri, ragda patties etc are available in almost all the corners of India. However this humble chaat recipe is hardly known in other regions. But this peanut chaat recipe is very popular in streets of Surat, Gujarat.
Almost all the schools and colleges nearby have a “singdana wala” – a vendor selling all different roasted peanut, chana dana (roasted gram), roasted peas etc. Such vendor is usually selling this “collegian chaat”. The chaat wala will quickly assemble this chaat by mixing finely chopped tomatoes, onion and roasted peanuts. He would garnish the chaat with sev and fresh coriander. It’s very easy recipe yet very tasty. The tastemaker in this chaat is the green chutney. Green chutney made from fresh coriander, peanut and lemon juice. I have shared the recipe of green chutney here.
