Peanut Chaat

Peanut chaat is served as a snack at bars in India. It's the perfect snack to eat on a rainy day or any time of the day. This chaat is served in Japanese pottery dishes on a rustic bamboo tray, with a nod to Japanese serenity and a wink at  Indian authenticity, a typical Komali Nunna style.
