there are many ways to include spinach in your meals and here is one chatpata way….. that of palak chaat. my mom had shared this palak chaat recipe with me on the phone. she had seen this recipe on some tv channel and shared the method. the only flipside in this chaat recipe is that spinach pakora/fritters are fried. each spinach leaf is coated with besan/gram flour batter and fried. but that is what makes this dish crisp & delicious. the fried palak pakoras become crisp and crunchy when each individual leaf is fried unlike the palak pakora recipe which i had posted earlier. on top of these palak pakoras, you add your favorite chutneys, sev and finely chopped onions. instead of papdi/flat crisp pooris we use palak pakora as a base, topped with the chaat tidbits and spice powders. this palak chaat can be served as a snack or a starter dish. you will need both green chutney and sweet chaat chutney for this chaat. so make them a day before and keep in the fridge. i have also added a vegan yogurt in this chaat. i added peanut yogurt which gave a very peanuty flavor in this chaat. you can use any yogurt – milk yogurt or even cashew yogurt. along with a few veggies, palak or spinach is one more veggie which most people don't like, especially kids. we all know that spinach is very very good for health. spinach is a rich source of most vitamins like A, C, E, K, B2 and most essential minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, zinc etc. it is rich in antioxidants too. usually kids don't like to eat palak and they are also not interested in knowing how good the palak or spinach is for their health. the only thing that matters to them is how tasty the food is to them. this chaat is especially good for kids as the palak is disguised in a way. the homemade green chutney, tamarind-dates chutney & curd also contribute not only in taste but also nutrient wise. i am sure that this delicious palak chaat will make them reconsider their attitude towards palak and have it on their favorite menu. if you are looking for more healthy and homemade chaat recipes then do check idli chaat, papdi chaat, aloo chaat and fruit chaat recipe. palak chaat or spinach chaat Author: dassana Recipe type: snacks Cuisine: indian Serves: 2-3
