Bihari Aloo Kachalu is a tangy, spicy and a popular street style Potato snack from the State of Bihar. It's made with sliced boiled Potatoes, roasted spices, lots of Tamarind pulp and Lemon juice to finish it off. This amazing variation of Potato is such a delightful beauty. It's absolutely lip-smacking and super delicious.
This variation won't let you down in terms of both taste and texture. You would definitely love it and would ask for more if you taste it once.
The spices can be adjusted accordingly. The Tamarind pulp adds that extra zing to the dish. You would love that tangy and sour flavour profile a lot. It's a perfect choice or an accompaniment for that sudden hunger pangs, choti moti bhook or even a special Tea-time snack. One would definitely love it at anytime and at the slightest pretext. Such is it's magic.
The intense tangy and flavourful Chaat or a snack dish that can't be missed. It is so very easily done that it comes around in as less as 10 minutes in all. And the best one for sure one any given day especially the Weekends.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
