Learn how to cook aloo chaat and bhel chaat with Monica Haldar.

Method
01.
For the aloo chaat

Heat 4-5cm of oil in a small saucepan or wok. Once hot, carefully add the chunks of potatoes into the oil and cook on a medium temperature. Keep them moving and cook until crisp and golden (this should take around 5-6 minutes). 

Once crisp, remove the potatoes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place into a mixing bowl.
