furthermore, i would also like to mention some more tips, suggestions and variations to the aloo tamatar ki chaat recipe. firstly, the tomatoes have to be ripe and juicy with bright red in colour. basically, the ripe tomatoes would ooze out more juice and colour with a hint of sweetness in it. secondly, this is a no onion no garlic chaat recipe, but it can be experimented to use onion and garlic. perhaps, you can top the finely chopped red onions and red garlic chutney just before serving. lastly, as the authentic recipe, it is always served in small quantity in a small plate. also, do not forget to top it with a generous amount of melted ghee to have the full flavour.
