CHATPATA INDIA / VEGETARIAN FOOD IN SUNNYVALE

Tour Some of the Bay Area’s Best Indian Food Trucks With Baker, Author, and ‘Masterchef’ Star Hetal Vasavada | Eater SF

"Hidden around the side of a Sunnyvale strip mall, the vibrant red Chatpata India food truck with its A-frame awning is where I go for kadhi kachori — a Rajasthani specialty I’ve only seen at one other spot in the Bay Area. Kadhi is a fragrant, golden yogurt sauce made with chickpea flour and spices, and it’s combined here with kachori, deep-fried pastries stuffed with lentils and onions; the kachori dough is stiffer than samosa dough yet remains delicately flaky, so the fritters keep a crisp exterior that contrasts beautifully with the creamy spiced sauce. It’s messy and comforting, and I call it my favorite chaat." - Lauren Saria
