Frequently Asked Questions
The best part about making the Delhi aloo chaat is the fact that you can tweak the recipe and add in the ingredients of your choice, based on what you prefer taste wise. Here are some good additions to consider.
- Chopped tomatoes

You don’t necessarily need to air fry the potatoes if you have already boiled them. However, this extra step can add a ton of flavor and deliciousness to the potatoes. Air frying can help crisp up the potatoes and give them a little golden outer coating, enhancing the flavor and texture of the chaat. 
Got some leftover aloo chaat? Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for upto a day. It is best to consume the chaat as soon as you can- storing it for too long can make the potatoes soggy and mushy.
You can also use up the leftovers as a simple filling for your homemade wraps. 
Tips & Tricks to Make the Chaat
While putting the aloo chaat together is actually a pretty simple process, you can actually benefit from having these little tips and tricks handy.
- Want the chaat to have a more tangy flavor? Drizzle some tamarind sauce into it and give it a good toss.
- Not too fond of the sourness tamarind adds? You can squeeze a bit of lemon juice on the top as well.
- For some extra flavor and a pop of color, throw in some chopped coriander leaves and/or mint leaves.
- Roasted cumin powder can also make for a wonderful addition to this chaat.
- If you don’t have an air fryer but still want your potatoes to have that crispiness, you can pan fry them in a bit of oil or even deep fry them while they’re still raw.
- To tone down the flavors of the chaat and make it more nutritious and healthy, you can also spoon some whisked yogurt on the top, right before you serve.
