Description
Chetna Makan has travelled to the four corners of India - Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, and Chennai - sampling the extreme varieties of street food on offer. Each area has subtle differences in ingredients and techniques, making the cuisine completely unique and full of character.
In Chai, Chaat & Chutney, Chetna has taken inspiration from the street and created delicious recipes that are simple to cook at home. The result is a completely fresh take on Indian cuisine.
Try Tamarind Stuffed Chillis, Chana Dal Vada with Coconut Chutney, and Sticky Bombay Chicken from the South, or let your senses venture to the North for Chole, one of the ultimate curries, sweet Carrot Halwa, Pani Puri, and Cardamom & Pistachio Kulfi.
