Churmur Chaat-a delicious crisp and easy to make snack with papdi, boiled chick peas , potatoes and few tangy chutneys

Churmur chaat is a quite popular chaat/ street food from Calcutta. It is available on the street hawkers carts who sells panipur and other chaat items. Few crushed pani puris, some boiled mashed or slices  potatoes , boiled kala chana or matar, chopped green chilies are mixed together with  chutneys and bhaja masala and then garnished with fresh coriander or sev as per there choice or availability.

It is a deconstructed version of Paani puri or puchka and taste equally delicious. This chaat is usually made with the broken paani puris or the ones which didn’t puffed up while frying, a very good use of those not so great one Paani puris .

This churmur chaat is totally different to the papdi chaat or dahi puri as yogurt is not at all used in this chaat  instead lemon is squeezed to give a fresh tang and taste. The use of boiled kala chana or soaked and boiled green matar/ ghughni is a must in this Churmur chaat to give a nice bite to the mashed potato’s and papdi’s and to make it healthy and filling. Some hawkers even add few mashed Urad daal pakodis in it but it depends on your choice and the availability with the hawker.
