In a series of videos titled ‘crisps, but better’, Instagram creator Priya Bowry takes the humble bag of crisps and transforms it into an explosion of flavour by adding in the basic ingredients of the popular Indian street food chaat – direct to the bag.
Chaat is known for its moreish mix of bold, tangy and savoury flavours. It traditionally consists of a variety of ingredients such as crispy fried dough (like puris or papdi), boiled potatoes, chickpeas, yogurt, tamarind chutney, mint chutney and various spices. It’s a seductive combination of sweet, sour, spicy and crunchy elements that come together to create a delicious and satisfying snack that will keep you coming back for more.

Bhel Puri – A puffed rice dish mixed with sev (crispy noodles), potatoes and chutneys.
