Instead of frying, arrange the boiled and sliced gatte on a baking tray, brush with oil, and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp.
Add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies to the chaat during assembly for extra heat.
Garnish with a handful of fresh pomegranate arils for a sweet, juicy crunch that complements the savory flavors.
For a softer texture, soak the fried gatte in warm, salted water for 5-7 minutes, then gently squeeze out the excess water before assembling the chaat.
