This amazingly delicious recipe is by Veranda Restaurant in Bandra, Mumbai which is known to be a modern Indian dining affair. The restaurant is widely popular for its interesting take on traditional Indian dishes, and the Bhindi Palak Chaat recipe is no different either.

Although Palak Patta chaat is a commonly heard item on the menus of various restaurants, the combination of Bhindi with it is quite unique. Thinly-sliced Bhindi pieces are coated in a Besan batter and deep-fried until golden brown and crisp. Once both Bhindi and Palak leaves are prepared in a similar manner, they are topped with yogurt, fresh chutneys, tomato and chaat masala. It is important to note that the yogurt must not be sour, else the taste of the chaat may get spoilt. Further, chaat must not be kept for too long else the pakoras would become soggy.

So, what are you waiting for? Prepare delicious Bhindi Palak chaat at home with this easy recipe and a lip-smacking experience is guaranteed!
