Paan is leaf which known by betel leaves in English. Mostly whole the Asia or especially in India, people consume paan as mouth freshener after dinner with tobacco or supari. Even paan can be serving in form of Indian sweet or dessert. But this time I had change the role of paan completely. I was prepared “Paan Ki Chaat” for my viewers, hope they will like it. For this recipe, you have to give crunchy and crisp texture to paan with frying procedure. Then serve with sauces, curd and spices as Indian street chaat like dahi bhalle or tikki. In this recipe, I prefer to add potatoes, cucumber, onion, tomatoes, coriander and pomegranates. But you can skip or change the any add-on ingredients as per choice. Today people may purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as flavor, taste and innovation are some reasons. Street food is ready to eat food which available in a street or public places. These are little cheaper than restaurant food.
