Indian food has rarely been considered cool. In a culture bursting with energy, color and tradition, we only tend to see it expressed in poorly-lit, Taj Mahal-themed restaurants slinging all-you-can-eat buffets. You’ve had curry, tikka masala and naan. But in the bustling streets of India, you’ll find chaat, hundreds of mouth-watering fresh snacks that have fueled billions of people for generations. Served in roadside carts helmed by masters of bold flavors and textures, chaat brings together people from all walks of life. We’re on a mission to shock the standards of Indian cuisine armed with these bold street snacks. Chaat is fresh. It’s alive with crunch and spice and tang. It hits with the flavor impact of a tornado. You've never had Indian food like this before. #LetsChaat
