Chaat is a savory snack that evolved in India and is often offered as an appetizer in restaurants, or as a quick bite sold by street vendors throughout South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh.   There are more than 500 varieties of chaat recipes all over the Indian subcontinent, making Indian street food not only a quick and affordable option but also quite trendy and fashionable throughout the world; in the past years, chaat has been added to farmers’ markets choices, festivals, and shopping malls, as popular street food (not only Indian but also Italian for example), is becoming more and more mainstream.
