The 12 Best Chaat Vendors in New Delhi - Eater

"Dilliwalas like to debate if matar kulcha, also called chhole kulche, can be considered chaat. Though the dish could represent a standalone branch of street food (if only for the sheer quantity locals consume), it qualifies in the chaat category through its inclusion in the typical chaat spread at Delhi weddings. The matar consists of chickpeas boiled, spiced to make a mild curry-like dish, and topped with fresh onions, tomatoes, spices, and chopped coriander. Alongside are kulchas, fermented, slightly sour oval-shaped breads. Matar kulchas are served from push carts that can be identified by their large golden brass vessels, which hold the matar. Worthy options are all over the city, but try the stall at Bengali Market in Central Delhi, found in the lane behind the famous Bengali Sweet House. Along with the usual toppings, the small stall adds a condiment of fermented radishes, which adds a nice lift to the rest of the dish’s flavors, and a thin raita that nicely completes the meal." - Sharanya Deepak
