"Price Range: $ Chaat stalls are North India’s most democratic food culture. On any given street corner, you will find people lining up for fried snacks that differ from vendor to vendor in recipe, technique, and backstory. Mangla, a bustling little spot in a predominantly residential area of Delhi, is a local legend. For aloo chaat, owner Dalchand Kashyap fries chunks of potato to a crisp in ghee and tops them with two chutneys: a fresh green version made with coriander and mint, and an aromatic, sweet red chutney made from tamarind, fennel seeds, and jaggery. Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds zest, and a garnish of grated radish provides quick relief from the rich flavors. Novelty is a big part of the chaat experience, and Kashyap’s trademark spices and condiments are well-kept secrets. Know before you go: You may recognize the stall from its turn on the Netflix series Street Food." - Sharanya Deepak
"This small stall used to be a neighborhood secret before Dalchand Kashyap, the shop’s owner, was featured on Netflix’s Street Food: Asia. But no amount of hype has compromised the quality of Mangala’s aloo chaat. Bite-sized potatoes are perfectly fried and tossed in chutneys of pudina and saunth, before they’re drizzled with lemon juice and a house special spice mix. Kashyap’s aloo chaat is always perfectly crispy, garnished with grated radish, beetroots, carrots, and herbs on request. The aloo tikki is equally beloved by locals; the flattened, fried cutlets of potato and lentils come with the same toppings as the aloo chaat. The shop is in a corner of the neighborhood’s bustling market; just look for the large sign for Aggarwal Sweets, a large sweet shop that stands opposite Kashyap’s smaller shop." - Sharanya Deepak
"A Delhi chaat vendor celebrated for preparing a family recipe he learned from his father, with the episode highlighting dazzling footage of his technique and the dish's local significance." - Greg Morabito
"A Delhi street-food stall known for drawing huge, eager crowds; the atmosphere is electric as patrons jockey for position, driven by a strong desire to secure a sought-after meal, making the experience as much about the energy and community around the food as the food itself." - Greg Morabito
"A chaat specialist known for vibrant, tangy street snacks that showcase classic Delhi flavors and textures." - Greg Morabito
