  2. You can adjust the spiciness and tanginess of the chaat as per your requirement.
  3. The potatoes should be fried till they are crisp and golden so that it doesn’t remain raw from inside.
  4. While frying the potatoes, be careful that you turn them slowly so that it does not breaks. Also remember to not over boil the potatoes in pressure cooker.
  5. Roasted Cashews and Raisins can be also added together with Pomegranate Seeds.
  6. Since frying of potatoes involves the excess use of oil, you can air fry it with the help of air fryer.
  7. The Curd should not be sour. If it is, then add little amount of sugar to it. Also the curd should be smooth. To make it smooth pass it through a strainer.
