Shredded chicken with bell peppers (Chooza chaat)

(Shredded chicken with bell peppers, Shredded chicken with bell peppers, चूज़ा चाट)

Chooza chaat is a traditional dish (or a snack) originating from Delhi. Although there are variations, it's usually made with a combination of shredded chicken breasts, bell peppers, mustard paste (mustard, vinegar, and hot peppers), ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black peppercorns.


The bell peppers are charred over an open flame, sealed in a plastic bag, cooled, peeled, de-seeded, and cut into strips. The shredded chicken is mixed with the bell peppers, sprinkled with all the other ingredients, seasoned with salt and pepper, and tossed well before serving.


Chooza chaat is often garnished with chopped walnuts.
