Cheerio Chaat Recipe
Sorry my bloggy blog! I have been ignoring you. It's just that my lovely family is visiting and I'm having such a good time with them. Here is a recipe that I throw together when we are in the mood for something chatpata. The inspiration comes from my friend Summi who used to whip up chaat in the form of cheerios back in the day when her first born was a baby. My guess is that for the lack of decent bhel in Indiana and a pantry always stocked with cheerios for the little one, she must've thrown the chutneys and cheerios together to come up with a rather convenient and tasty medley. We have rediscovered this mix again in the last year and I make quite often in the evenings as a quick chatpatta nashta.
This is how it goes.
