This Matara Kachori Chaat Is Ideal For Those Intense Street Food Cravings

It is tough to walk down the bustling streets of India without being lured by at least one street food. There are days we cave, and then there are days we try to take the matters in our hand and recreate those gems in our own kitchen. The nationwide lockdown last year made us try a bevvy of street-food favourites at home. Remember the time we were all trying to make the perfect 'khatta pani' for our gol gappas? Street food can pull people together and never fail to leave an impression. If you are feeling particularly creative today, you must try this matar kachori chaat by food vlogger Parul.
