What makes Sabudana Tokri Chaat so unique?
Sabudana Tokri Chaat is a unique chaat recipe. Unlike traditional chaat, it is shaped like a basket (tokri), giving it a unique presentation. Tokri is prepared from a mixture of sago, potatoes and spices. Then it is filled with spiced potatoes and curd and chutney is added on top.

Is Sabudana Tokri Chaat healthy?
It depends on how you cook Sabudana Tokri Chaat. In this recipe, the bowl is deep fried before being filled with the potato mixture.
