Aloo Chat Recipe (Requested Recipe)!!

As I was preparing this dish, there were so many memories that reminded me my childhood days back home. Street foods like fulki, chat, and chatpate used to be an everyday thing with friends. Whenever I cook, I get so many flashbacks of the time when I was in Nepal and this particular one seriously touched me emotionally because there is no certainty whether I will be able to experience same fun with friends and family again. Anyways, it was my first time making this recipe and the fact that I and my friends used to eat street food many times a week gave me a clear idea on the preparation part. So, below is the step by step process to make Aloo Chat and I will be posting other street food recipes in future as well :)
