Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Tokri' means 'basket' in Hindi. Aka 'Katori Chaat (bowl Chaat)'. Not just Chaat, the entertainment of eating the vessel itself is a huge hit at stalls, becoming a staple at wedding buffets. Thoroughly removing potato starch is the pro's showcase to make a beautiful basket.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Simultaneously chew the texture contrast between the basket bottom 'slightly soggy' absorbing yogurt/sauce, and the edge's 'crispy part'!
