Chaat is one of my all-time favorite foods. It can be a snack, a shareable side for game day, or a dinner all on its own. This take on aloo chaat swaps the typical boiled spuds for frozen tater tots that get crisped up and tossed in spice-infused ghee. Using tater tots not only saves … Read more

This feel-good dinner makes the most of your time. Because you’re busy. You don’t have all day. I hear you.
