Dahi Puri Chaat

Chaat is very popular through out india Today though it originated in northIndia. Popular types include Bhel puri,Pani puri,Sev puri,Dahi puri,Papdi chaat.

When ever we go to Bombay for vacation my uncles would take me and my cousins to Chaoupatti Beach to have some variety of Chaat.
