Taco is a very popular traditional Mexican dish. Chaat is a very popular Indian dish. Here I tried to create a fusion. Since Holi is arriving and it is incomplete without Chaat. I thought to experiment with something. After a long thinking process, this came into my mind.
Taco chaat looks perfect for the holi parties as a starter or appetizer. We all want to impress our guests. I always want to try something new and experiment. Always like to make it presentable. I must say I’ve learned about the hospitality from my mother. She is an amazing host. Trying something new every time and so warm towards everyone. So I try to be like her but I am not sure hahaha.
