Any chaat lover here! Sweet, tangy, sour spicy whatever flavor it may be, we all crave chaat, isn't it
ost chaat is the combination of carbs (puri/Okumura/papdi ) + fat (oil/ butter / cheese ) + and protein (moong, chana ,ragda, mouth ) .but its deep-fried. If you choose wisely and know your portion you can enjoy these chaats too.
KNOW YOUR CHAAT : 1. Aloo chaat - It's deep fried, consuming potatoes is not a problem but consuming fried ( deep-fried ) is fattening, rather pan-fried or baked potatoes with less oil. Calories: Approximately 350 calories ( 1 serving )
2. Bhel puri - It's one of the healthy options made of puffed rice with mash boiled potatoes, tomatoes, and onions along with tangy tamarind sauce and spicy coriander sauce. But the only problem is fried sev, URI peanuts, and channa dal. so watch your portions and avoid outing too much if fried topping. adding sprouts and veggies can turn your regular bhel into a healthy bhel. Calories: Approximately 200-250 calories (one serving )
3. Pani puri- one of the most eaten chaat, it is around, fried crispy shell, filled with tangy tamarind water, chili, chaat masala, potato, onion, and boiled moong, channa or ragda. Even though the shell is fried, the filling is mostly healthy, so can be eaten 3/month.Calories: 200- 300 calories for 4-5 medium sizes pieces.
4.Papri Chaat - A mixture of crispy fried papri made from maida, chickpeas, boiled potatoes, and yogurt, which is served with tamarind chutney and garnished with sev, fried peanuts, masala channa .can be eaten 1/ month. Calories: Approximately 300 -400 calories for a medium-size serving.
Pro tip: Enjoy the chaat but wisely and occasionally indulgence is a must, we all are human and crave for chaat, as I always say do not kill your craving, satisfy it but smartly and in portion control
