Palak patta chaat is a popular street food in India. It's typically made with spinach leaves that are coated in a batter and fried until crispy. The fried spinach leaves are then topped with a variety of chutneys and spices. This particular recipe for palak patta chaat is a bit different from the traditional recipe in that it uses a batter made with besan (chickpea flour) and baking powder. This gives the fried spinach leaves a lighter and crispier texture. The dressing is also a bit different, as it uses a combination of green chutney, dahi (yogurt), and sev (a type of fried noodle). This dressing adds a tangy and creamy flavor to the chaat.
