Prayagraj: Although there are hundreds of chaat shops in Sangam city Prayagraj, but the chaat available on the cart located at Bakshi Dam in Chhota Baghada has made the people of Prayagraj crazy. This chaat has become the first choice not only of the local people but also of the competitive students staying here to prepare for the exam. Along with this, VIP vehicles are also parked at this cart.
The main reason behind this is the masala of this chaat. The masala of Nikhil Chaat Bhandar, which competes with the chaat of Johnsonganj, Civil Line, Katra of Prayagraj, is completely chemical free.
This is how chaat is prepared
Lakhs of competitive students live in Chhota Baghada, whose main exit is towards Bakshi Dam. In the evening, thousands of students gather here. The first choice of this crowd is Nikhil Chaat Corner, which is set up on a cart. The best thing is that this chaat, which is available for Rs 25, is made in a simple way without chemical spices.
The demand for chaat has increased among the people
While talking to Local 18, Nikhil, who has a chaat stall, said that he had not anticipated that the demand for his chaat would be so high. He tried something different in his chaat. Where everywhere market spices are added to the chaat, he prepares these spices at home.
Prepare chaat masala at home
Nikhil told that we buy the saale from the market and grind it finely at home using a mixer machine to make it ready for use in chaat. Talking about making chaat, he prepares chaat for only one person at a time.
In which the spices are used by adding Tadka according to the person. In Tadka they add ginger, garlic, green chilli, onion, while in the masala they prepare it by adding red chilli powder, coriander powder, mango powder and peas prepared at home.
People like its taste
Nikhil says that while nowadays every food item is made tasty by adding spicy masalas from the market, he is making it more tasty by using homemade masalas. The most important thing is that people are becoming health conscious. This is the reason why people are turning towards Desi food, due to which the goods on his cart get finished in just 3 hours.
Know the opening hours of the chaat shop
Nikhil told that he and his brother together prepare chaat for the customers. He is 20 years old and his brother is 15 years old. His father takes care of all the household chores. He also helps him whenever needed. Nikhil told that he is also pursuing BA. After returning from college, he runs the chaat shop from 4 pm to 8 pm. This is how he runs his house.
