More Chaat from Raj

Basket Chaat

After all that oily food from China, I needed a good cleansing. So what better than some vegetarian chaat from Raj? We got the usual pani puri and paper masala dosa, but we also tried a couple new things too, like the basket chaat, which basically featured all the chaat tastes that we know and love, but all in this little deep fried basket-shaped thing (kinda like a Chinese bird's nest) and other crispy fried slivers on top for added texture. This was exactly what the doctor ordered, with its sour/spicy/sweet/salty flavors and a healthy dose of yogurt as a nice counterpoint. Yum.

Dhaniya Sada Dosa

Another great one was the dhaniya sada dosa, which is a dosa with a mildly spicy and sour coriander spread inside. I'd definitely like to get this one again, and I'm starting to prefer Raj over Bombay Woodlands.
