An exciting South Indian snack that delivers a delightful crunch and burst of flavors in every bite!
Description:
The Boti Masala Chaat, also known as Fryums Chaat, is a playful and crunchy snack loved by both kids and adults alike. The unique aspect of this chaat lies in the crispy and lightly spiced Botis – golden-fried fryums cut into boat shapes. These crispy boats are filled with a refreshing Indian salad made with onions, grated carrots, and seasoned with tangy lemon juice and salt. A drizzle of sweet-tangy chutneys (coriander mint chutney and date tamarind chutney) adds an explosion of flavors, while puffed rice and sev provide additional crunch. Each bite is a mouthful of exciting textures, making it the perfect evening snack or party appetizer.

Fill the Boats:
Now, carefully fill each of the Botis with the prepared onion-carrot salad mixture. Sprinkle a little red chili powder on top to give a touch of spice. -
Add the Garnishes:
For the final touch, garnish the Boti Masala Chaat with puffed rice and sev to enhance the texture and make it irresistibly crunchy. -
