Chaat Dog - Desi American Street Food

Chaat Hot Dog Recipes: A Step-by-Step How-to | Eater

"A New York City–based hot-dog pop-up created by Pervaiz Shallwani that reimagines the American hot dog by fusing Chicago-style frank traditions with the bold, contrasting flavors of South Asian chaat. Service is often a DIY, communal setup: blistered all-beef or vegetarian franks are placed in ghee-brushed, toasted buns and finished with an array of chaat toppings — charred corn chaat, potato chaat, mango chaat, cilantro-mint and tamarind chutneys, fried onions, sev, boondi, chaat masala, and pickled peppers — delivering crunchy, spicy, sweet, sour, and tangy notes in each bite. Recipes emphasize charred, fresh ingredients (like grilled corn and blistered poblanos), bright herb chutneys, and textural garnishes, making these ideal for summer cookouts where guests assemble and customize their own dogs; the founder’s background as a seasoned journalist and trained chef informs the thoughtful recipes and presentation." - Pervaiz Shallwani
