    This one has all the chaat flavors, combination of all the taste, crunch, everything in it. You won’t miss the chaat feeling at all. Trust me.

    As you know that oats are rich in fiber and has many health benefits. You should include in your diet on regular basis.

    Recently, I have been using oats in Indian cooking rather than having them only in breakfast oatmeal.

    I got the idea of making this recipe from Nita Mehta's cookbook.

    As it is healthy recipe, it is good for your family and specially for kids who loves chatpata style street food.

        It is personal preference. If you would like then you eat it. If not then skip.

      I really really loved your recipe Kanan. I just love the fact that people are moving towards healthy eating and food habits rather than just getting use to typical fried Indian recipe.
