Ashok Chaat Corner

The 12 Best Chaat Vendors in New Delhi | Eater

"This Old Delhi stalwart, a literal hole in the wall on a street corner, is rightfully iconic for a range of crowd-favorite chaat recipes, made from traditional mixes of spices and recipes devised centuries ago. Everything is reliably great, but the specialty is dahi papdi: papdi crackers served with a topping of thick, house-made yogurt, boiled potatoes, and tangy chutneys. It makes a great starter before moving on to other options, with the helpful advice of whichever member of the Jaiswal family is behind the counter; all of them have a preternatural ability to tell customers’ preferences and provide recommendations. Look for the sign for Ashok Chaat in front of the small, colorful space, the steel containers exhibiting various chaat offerings, and the sea of bickering residents who surround the stall at all times of day." - Sharanya Deepak
