What Is Chaat?

The name "chaat" is believed to have originated from the chatpatta flavor and feeling, which is best described as salty, sweet, and tangy in most savory Indian snacks and dishes.

It may also possibly have been derived from the term chatna, which means "to lick" when enjoying a flavor on the sides of the tongue. Chaat can be prepared in several ways and with a wide range of components.
