Churmur chaat recipe

Churmur chaat is a popular street food in Kolkata. This tangy, spicy, crispy chaat is a popular Calcutta street food made by Phuchkawalas. It’s so tasty and is usually had after eating Puchkas! It is really easy to make at home and you need to give it a try.

This Churmur chaat recipe is spicy, tangy, and crunchy which you will like. It has a melange of veggies like finely chopped onions, potatoes, and chaat masala along with some spices.

One of the major differences is in the papri chaat – the papris are not crushed and a generous dollop of dahi is poured after all the condiments are added. Here it’s definitely different and yet ask any Phuchka lover, Churmur is one of the essential commodities. You can call it a deconstructed Fuchka.
