The other day i hosted a potluck party at my place. Before the get together i kept wracking my brain for a simple snack/appetizer. I wanted to make something that could be made in advance thus relieving me of the last minute stress of frying or baking. I zeroed in on aloo channa chaat (potato chickpea snack). I love north indian chaats mainly for the lovely flavours that come through every dish.
